Poll: Public fed up with Bush, Congress
Associated Press
Published: Wednesday July 16, 2008

Just 16% see US on right track

WASHINGTON - A soured public has given President Bush and Congress record low approval ratings in the latest Associated Press-Ipsos poll, underscoring the toll taken by fretful economic woes and long-lasting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The survey, released Tuesday, also set a new AP-Ipsos floor for the number of people saying the country is heading in the right direction. Just 16 percent said the country is moving the right way, a virtual tie with the 17 percent who said so last month.

In addition, 28 percent said they approve of the job Bush is doing, tying his low in the AP-Ipsos survey set last April.

Congress fared even worse: A new AP-Ipsos low of 18 percent said they were happy with Congress' work, down a steep 5 percentage points from last month.

3. Wasn't 16% the same percent of voters who are "very excited" about McSame?
... In that MSNBC poll this morning. Compared to Obama's 51%!!

6. Speaker Pelosi certainly loves her some Dubya...
...I CANNOT WAIT until Speaker Pelosi seeks re-election.

Virtually living organism with a pulse should be able to defeat her Bush-loving ASS.
