Well, that didn’t last long, did it?
It’s taken roughly six months for the Democratic congressional majority elected last November to dissipate the public support that put it in power. The latest Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg survey finds just 27 percent of those polled approve of the way Congress is doing its work.
More significant is the 63 percent of those surveyed who said Congress is now conducting its work in a “business as usual” fashion, according to the Times.
If I’m not mistaken, that 27% is much lower than President Bush’s approval rating — and we all know how much the entire country world universe hates President Bush.
Remember back just a few months ago when Sen. Harry “The Irrelevant” Reid refused to engage Vice President Cheney because “I’m not going to get into a name-calling match with somebody who has a 9 percent approval rating”?
Well, look whose approval rating has fallen to half that of V.P. Cheney:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is now viewed favorably by 19% of American voters and unfavorably by 45%.
Vice President Dick Cheney’s numbers are currently at 38% favorable and 58% unfavorable.
Dennis Miller has a little something to say about Sen. Reid.
Only six months into it, and this very well could be the most corrupt, inefficient, partisan, — hell, let’s call it what it is — the worst Congress ever.
I literally can’t stand Reid’s voice and I was glad to see Miller label it a caulking gun. Boy, he said it all.
As far as Reid’s ratings though, I think much of it probably comes from the far left of his own party who want Bush impeached and they’re not happy with Reid or Pelosi because they haven’t done it. They are also the same ones who are supporting Edwards. Notice Edward’s rating is up and that’s because he’s taken a hard left stand on all the issues. Notice also that the far left crowd doesn’t like Hillary either.
Conclusion: The democratic party is more far left than we think.
