Going Down.....

An AP-Ipsos poll reveals that conservative disenchantment with W and his cronies is a strong factor in the decline in presidential popularity. Among the findings:

• Most Americans (51 percent) want Democrats rather than Republicans to control Congress. Only 34 percent want to keep the GOP in charge.
• 65 percent of conservatives disapprove of the Republican-controlled Congress.
• 73 percent (that is not a misprint) of those polled say the nation is on the wrong track.
• Just before the 2004 election, 27 percent of voters called themselves strong Republicans. The figure today is 15 percent.

True, one president in the past fifty years has had a lower approval rating than Bush at a corresponding point in his administration. But that was Richard Nixon in May 1974, which doesn't bode well for the present incumbent or his party.

HAD ENOUGH? VOTE DEMOCRATIC!
