I am worried about the budget, but arn't there more importan pressing issues going on right now? Like the war and hurricane destruction? Maybe I am wrong though.

"We've lost focus on where we're supposed to be going and not able to respond to the crises that affect the people of this country," said David Ernest, a Republican from San Ramon, Calif., who is angry about the government's response to Hurricane Katrina. "We're mired in a Middle Eastern adventure and we've taken the focus off of our own country."

Wow, even the Republicans in CA spout Dem talking points.

Polls are totally ridiculous and useless too. But leave it to some media person with too much time on his/her hands to take some idiot poll and make a big story out of it.

BREAKING NEWS!!! NEWS FLASH!!! ALERT!!!

I'm a Republican, female and I'm not disillusioned. I'm not frantic. I'm NOT abandoning Bush. I'm NOT going to turn into a democrat. I am NOT sick to death over Harriet Miers. I AM going to continue to support Republicans for office. (Well except for the RHINOs like McCain.)

Call me and ask ME for my opinion! Oh wait, I won't count will I because I don't fit the needed bias mode.

I doubt that Mr. Ernest is typical of Republicans nationwide. He sounds more like a Democrat.

Thanks...you just saved me a lot of typing.

Damage from Katrina $150,000,000,000
Afghan/Iraq war     $252,000,000,000
Federal debt      $8,000,000,000,000

At some point the debt becomes just as urgent as the other two. I don't know. Is $8 trillion really that bad? It's about 53 Katrinas or 32 Afghanistan/Iraq wars.

Bush did not help himself with his base voters by nominating a Sandra Day O'Connor clone. Even with the oversampling of Donks, these numbers are to be expected. The Base is disgusted.

"Another Scalia", indeed!

Anybody that still believes "polls" are worth something is a total idiot. The country is EXTREMELY divided right now. Blue against Red. These phony balony pollsters HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE who they are talking to on the other end of the line. The only thing they can take to the bank is that the person they are talking to is lying to them. DemocRATS have trained their apes to ALWAYS identify themselves as someone who "voted for Bush," is a "veteran," and doesn't like "the direction the country is going."

[DTogo]

Legitimate criticisms from Bush's base. He should stop pandering to the Left and listen to the Right.

[Duke Wayne]

This poll is not right. Everyone has concerns. But overall conservatives would not want Kerry or a liberal Rat in the White house.

To me this court appointment is the only big thing I feel President Bush has really dropped the ball on. And maybe in the long run he will prove me wrong. I hope he will.

If they are polling true Republicans then this poll is hogwash.

[HelloooClareece]

DITTO! Hillary is rubbing her hands in glee watching some republicans turn on their own party. This just feeds the undecideds and will result in a democrat majority next year. It makes me sick. I'm all for healthy debate but knee jerk reactionaries are only going to push dems toward victory.

[IVote2]

French eh? Figures!! Thanks for the information.

(Back to eating Freedom Fries for me!)

That's the CBS poll. This is the Ipsos/AP poll.

Both suck.

[Soul Seeker]

I will never accept an AP/IPOS poll as accurate.

That stated, whatever problems I have right now, specifically it's Miers, I would like to just tell the Libs to STAY OUT OF OUR FAMILY DISPUTE!

Sit back, observe, watch how a healthy party fights over principle and learn how to do it yourselves. But quit pretending you understand the feelings of this base. We don't need the Libs two cents.
