WASHINGTON - It has been weeks since Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast; since gas prices began spiking to record highs; and since Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq, held her antiwar vigil outside President Bush’s Texas ranch. But, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, the fortunes of the Bush administration and the Republican Party have not yet begun to recover.

For the first time in the poll, Bush’s approval rating has sunk below 40 percent, while the percentage believing the country is heading in the right direction has dipped below 30 percent. In addition, a sizable plurality prefers a Democratic-controlled Congress, and just 29 percent think Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers is qualified to serve on the nation’s highest court.

1. Please don't associate * with
ANYTHING involving NY or NYC.

We have been exploited ENOUGH by the "evil doer". End of story.

2. As I have said before,
Dumbo's approval numbers will bottom out when they reach the illiteracy rate. After all, that is his base.

7. You know it will drop, you watch it drop, you cheer and party.
If Dick Clark were counting it down, the analogy would be perfect.
