Numbers

A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll has some ugly numbers:
29-
As President Bush attempts to revive the controversial immigration reform bill he supports, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that Republicans are abandoning the president, which has dropped his job-approval rating below 30 percent -- his lowest mark ever in the survey.

But he isn’t the only one whose support is on the decline in the poll. Congress’ approval rating has plummeted eight points, bringing it below even Bush’s. And just one in five believe the country is on the right track, which is the lowest number on this question in nearly 15 years.....

.....In the poll, Bush’s approval rating is at just 29 percent. It’s a drop of six points since April, and it represents his lowest mark ever on this question in the NBC/Journal poll....

How low can it go? Even though Bush says he doesn't pay attention to polls, it still has to be something staggering to know that you aren't as popular as you once were.

Americans have a clear choice at the next general election. We can vote to keep our troops in Iraq f-o-r-e-v-e-r by electing a Republicans who have all promised to keep our troops in Iraq for many more years, or we can vote for a Democratic President and Congress and get our troops home. In recent Supreme Court rulings, the Supreme Court has clearly sided with big business and the right wing agenda. A Democratic President would appoint judges to the Supreme Court who would protect workers' rights and the civil rights of all Americans.
