WASHINGTON - Angry conservatives are driving the approval ratings of President Bush and the GOP-led Congress to dismal new lows, according to an AP-Ipsos poll that underscores why Republicans fear an Election Day massacre.
Six months out, the intensity of opposition to Bush and Congress has risen sharply, along with the percentage of Americans who believe the nation is on the wrong track.
The AP-Ipsos poll also suggests that Democratic voters are far more motivated than Republicans. Elections in the middle of a president’s term traditionally favor the party whose core supporters are the most energized.

I don't want to go to war with Iran. I just want to bomb the nuke sites and skedaddle.
Find it a little easier. Though I agree with you that spending is way too high--Bush should be vetoing most or all spending bills these days--he does get a near-perfect 10 in picking judges. People forget that after the 2000 election the media and Democrats (and later Specter) indicated NO WAY would there be a pro-life justice squeaking through. But now you have two who have laid down professional opinions in the past, at least, that Roe has gotta go. And Roberts sleeps with a "Feminist for Life". Could be worse!
Ditto that.
The "squeaky wheel" theory at work.....
They seemed more motivated and enthusiastic than the right in 2004, as well. Republicans never get out and protest to the extent of the left because we have jobs, families, and responsibilities. The more giddy the MSM gets over this, the more likely they are to be stunned (once again) at the results in November.
Disheartening news, for sure....but they're always wrong. Like the commercial says: Steely Dan is not one person and we don't get French benefits.
Yeah, darn him for taking the fight to the enemy, advancing American strategic interests abroad, keeping us out of entangling alliances like Kyoto, the ABM treaty and the ICC, pushing and signing prolife legislation, selecting two seemingly prolife SC justices, and lowering income taxes. He couldn't even fix the decades old train wrecks of illegal immigration, social security, medicare and education so now they're his fault. Shame on him.
The comparison that I use is that the Dems are like pneumonia and the RINOs are like the flu. Both are deadly, but at least most people take pneumonia as a serious threat. They ignore the flu until it kills them.
What a bunch of nancy-boys in this thread.
Oh whoa is me....the GOP is going down the tubes...etc etc etc
Look, Bush may have low numbers, but so does EVERYBODY else.
Ahem. If he seals the borders, we'll thank him but keep on watching.
Yes, his positions were there for us to see, but many of us voted for him anyway because the alternative was so much worse.
We voted for him with the hope that he was just pandering for votes and really wouldn't allow an invasion and really would actually use his veto pen.
"I'm right there with him on the WOT but he has been a disaster at home"
And of course the WOT is just a minor issue right? I mean it's not like the struggle to defend western civilization can be expected carry weight in deciding the votes of conservatives.
These "conservatives abandoning Bush" amaze me. Presumably, many of them are among those who ridiculed us Forbes supporters in the 2000 primary season. Would they now have us believe they were too dumb to know what "compassionate conservative" meant? And of course, the Democrats will fight the WOT much more effectively when they get power, right?
Increasingly I'm thinking the West is doomed to be under Sharia law within the next generation. And these "conservatives abandoning Bush" will be just as responsible for that as the most lunatic denizen of the fever swamp left. But that's okay, as long as Bush is punished for the "No Child Left Behind Act."
Don't support the RNC or its national affiliates.
Too much time in an echo chamber will drive anybody batty.
To anyone who wants someone to blame for the low poll numbers, they're my fault. I don't have time to answer dumb a$$. loaded questions like " Is the country headed in the right direction?".

Thank you. Bat, ball - outta the park. Sometimes it happens.
IMHO, the pilers on are either Democrat shills, or spend way too much time following breaking news feeds.
