quote: President Bush's approval rating has slumped to 31% in a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, the lowest of his presidency and a warning sign for Republicans in the November elections. The survey of 1,013 adults, taken Friday through Sunday, shows Bush's standing down by 3 percentage points in a single week. His disapproval rating also reached a record: 65%. The margin of error is +/- 3 percentage points.
quote: "It is a challenging political environment," acknowledges Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, "but we are confident that ultimately voters in November will recognize that a Democrat Congress would simply not be equipped to ensure either economic or national security for our nation."
Hahahahahahahaha. Oh my what arrogance!

So Bush is slipping in popularity down in the U.S. while his clone, Stephen Harper,is rising in popularity here in Canada. Spooky.

There is a difference between being in year six of a presidency marked by soaring deficits and a never ending expensive war and a government that has been in power for two and a half months which has not really done anything controversial yet (apart from whether or not to fly flags at half mast) and who people want to give the benefit of the doubt to.

Actually, Harper's last poll was down, too - though he's still too close to a majority for comfort.
