Nice find by Don Surber. But it’s all Bush’s fault, anyway….
Democratic apologists say that this is because Congress has failed to end the war. Well, that may explain the low marks on the Democratic end. But the 63 votes so far this year on the war obviously are turning off independents and Republicans.
Let us review. In November, Gallup pegged the Congressional job approval at 20% with 69% disapproval.
In December, Gallup found that 40% of Americans think the Surge is working, 39% say not working.
And while 57% now say going into Iraq was a mistake, 41% say it was not a mistake.
Apparently 69% say electing this Congress was a mistake. Only 20% apparently believe this Congress was not a mistake.
Now, granted, the questions on what defines “popularity” is slightly (and only slightly) different. However, 41% believe the war in Iraq wasn’t a mistake. Only 20% can say the same about electing Congress. Via Glenn Reynolds.
On a side note, I’ll be traveling for most of today, but will most likely update later today. If you have anything you need to email me, I should still have access to my email.
