You know George W. Bush is mired in tough times when his approval ratings fall in a Fox News poll. Perhaps that's why reporter Dana Blanton relegates the President's numbers to the ninth paragraph of her write up of the poll.

President Bush’s job approval sits at 47 percent, with 43 percent disapproving. His approval rating is down 2 percentage points since last month (March 29-30) and down 5 points from his 52 percent approval rating at the beginning of the year. While approval among groups that have traditionally been strong supporters of the president — like men and Republicans — are holding fairly steady, Bush has lost ground with women and independents in the last few months.

Tom DeLay doesn't fare any better.

Looking at some other names in the news, 21 percent of the public have a favorable view of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, 34 percent have an unfavorable view, 25 percent are unsure, and the remaining 20 percent say they have never heard of the Texas congressman.

Despite any claims that the President is gaining traction, his approval rating has fallen five points in the last two months -- and in a Fox News poll, to boot. More and more people are meeting Tom DeLay, and more and more people disapprove of his actions. Isn't it about time they thought about moderating?
