Raw Story is reporting the latest poll numbers on Bush's job approval. The poll was done by Time Magazine. According to the report, Bush's approval rating has gone down to 35%. The Time Magazine article has some other information that must be especially upsetting to Karl Rove. Here are some of the noteworthy findings from the Time article:
...Only 33% of Americans in the survey said they approved of Bush's handling of the situation in Iraq, vs. 35% in March, and 47% in March 2005. His management of the U.S. economy lost supporters, too, as 36% approved, compared with 39% three months earlier. Bush's handling of the war on terror saw a slight gain in support, from 44% to 45%....
...Americans have grown more critical of the job Congress is doing, compared with three months ago. Only 31% approved, down sharply from 39% in March. Asked whether they would be more likely to vote for the Republican or Democratic candidate in the district where they live if the election were held today, 47% said Democrat and 35% said Republican, a two-point improvement for Democrats....
Americans want their elected officials to work on immigration, job creation, ending the Iraq War, and solving the energy crisis. However, the Republicans are only concerned about taking on other issues. Why are the Republicans so disconnected from the American people?????
