WASHINGTON - As gasoline prices have spiked above $3 a gallon throughout the country, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that the public’s view of President Bush’s job, the economy and the nation’s direction have continued to decline. But with the midterm elections just six months away, the biggest drop in the survey — 11 points in one month — is in the approval rating of Congress, which is locked in a bitter debate over what do about these gas prices, immigration, Iraq and a host of other issues.
“You have never seen such a sour mood in the country,” says Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, who conducted this survey with Republican Bill McInturff. “It is sour, sour, sour.”
And in that sour mood, the poll shows, registered voters say they prefer Democrats controlling Congress — but by a smaller margin than in the past few NBC/Journal surveys.
According to the poll, Bush’s approval rating fell by one point from last month to 36 percent, his lowest mark in the survey. But the troubling news for Bush doesn’t stop there: Hart explains that Bush has now spent nine consecutive months at 40 percent or below in the poll, a feat exceeded only by Richard Nixon (13 months) and Harry Truman (26 months).

Sit tight. Iraq is slowly coming together and Iran looms. All this is meaningless.
Foreign policy is key and Bush will control the agenda.
LOL! thanks for the warning.
I guess by now they're about ready to crash the gates and haul him out and hang him from the nearest tree aren't they?
If I got polled, I would say that I am very dissatisfied with the job Bush is doing.
But the idiotic MSM would assume that I therefore will vote Democratic, when I would sooner chew off my arm than do so.
Maybe from the people themselves??
Brainwash?? How so?

Gotta agree with ya...
Man, oh, man. The first thing out of their mouths is an opinion. How about, "As illegal immigrants rallied in the streets..."? You think they'd ever start a news piece with that? Who knows what people are mad about? A bunch of things, is my guess.
What really gets me is MSM's automatic assumption that polling numbers which are bad for Bush are to be counted as pro-Democrats. Ha! Me, I'm mad at Bush for not being far enough to the right on issues. How's that going to help them in November?

Because they print boldfaced lies hoping that an uninformed sheep like you will fall for it. Gas prices are not Bushes fault. Gas prices has DEMOCRAT written all over it.
