Page:123PRINCETON, NJ -- Amidst a swirl of public dissatisfaction about the Iraq war, the economy, government corruption, and with President Bush more generally, Americans went to the polls in November 2006 and voted enough Republicans out of office to give the Democrats majority control of Congress. A year later, Americans are as negative about the job Congress is doing as they were leading up to the 2006 midterm elections. And according to recent Gallup polling, Americans are distinctly negative about the Democrats handling of several front-burner policy issues.

So of Course Democrat Congress response to these poll numbers by doing the only thing they have been doing since January and continue to fight with Bush over Iraq.

“A year later, Americans are as negative about the job Congress is doing as they were leading up to the 2006 midterm elections.”
They put this in the intro without any review of what the numbers actually were in Oct 2006 ?? It seems to me like Congress’ approval ratings are significantly worse than they were a year ago, not roughly the same as implied.

I actually heard some talking head over the weekend attempt to make just that point....that Congress' numbers are in the toilet because of Bush somehow.
The talking head was suggesting that if Bush would only sign the war-ending ammended bills and then resign from office (with Cheney going too), Congress would be freed up from the responsibilities of tacking the anti-war stuff onto bill after bill (I think we're over 40 now?) and having to investigate Bush's shoes and socks.

No, it could happen if every congresscritter got voted out at once. In theory, it’s possible, but can you see Maxine Waters getting voted out by her constituents?

LOL! The Democrats have succeeded in doing in several months what it took the GOP 12 years to do. Congratulations!

If only Congress was more LIBERAL, then their numbers would go up.
That’s the media thinks, that what Congress thinks.

Yeah I wonder what these people that want “fresh, new faces” would feel if their favorite congressperson was tossed out with the rest? They better be careful of what they wish for, huh? ;)

Anyone else notice that there have been no new poll results on the over all job approval of the ratHouse? I don’t believe there have been no polls. I believe zombie and pew are sitting on a bad one.

Unfortunately, I think the Dems will keep the Senate. To many GOP Senators retiring.
