Is this mind-numbing or what? all you ahve to do is listen to the BBC or some other european news service to see the cirucs that is American politics today in the absurd, incredulous light in which folks outside our country view it. It's breathtakingly cynical..... Daily Kos: Schiavo political impact. It's not pretty for the GOP. CBS News. 3/21-22. MoE 4%. (February results) Congress Job Approval Approve 34 (41) Disapprove 49 (44) Bush Approval Ratings Approve 43 (49) Should Congress and the President be involved in the Schiavo matter? Yes 13 No 82 This is turning into a disaster of epic proportions for the GOP. They thought they had the Dems wedged, and instead they have wedged themselves from the American public. Congress is being exposed as the cynical, power-mad, ethics-free zone that it has become under DeLay's leadership. Read the poll. It has nothing but bad news for Republicans. And don't miss Bush's numbers on Iraq - his approval ratings in the war are down six points in the last month - from 45 percent to 39 percent. Update: The party breakdown for this poll is: Republican 44 Democrat 29 Independent 28 If the poll represented the actual partisan breakdown of the US public, the numbers would be far, far worse.
