Poll: Dems Have 2006 Advantage, Bush, Republican Congress Show Nearly Record Low Ratings - CBS News

By all rights, the Republican Party should be through as a national political party after this Republican president and Republican congress, but because we do not have a real democracy anymore, this will not be the case.

Poll: Dems Have 2006 Advantage, Bush, Republican Congress Show Nearly Record Low Ratings - CBS News:

President Bush and the Republican Congress show nearly record low ratings while Democrats are viewed much more favorably in their performance on the issues that matter most to Americans, according to the latest CBS News/New York Times poll.

Only 31% of those polled approve of Mr. Bush's job performance and 68% believe the United States is worse off today than it was before Mr. Bush became president.

Personal evaluations of Mr. Bush are the lowest they've ever been during his presidency. On the public's confidence in Mr. Bush's ability to handle a crisis, 51% had been the previous low in September 2005. That figure is now at 50%. The President's handling of the Hurricane Katrina crisis is tied to that decrease.
