Republicans Dropping Across the Country
They're dropping here, they're dropping there, they're dropping everywhere! Just look at what the AP's Will Lester has to say:
President Bush's standing with the public is slumping just three months into his final term, but Americans have an even lower regard for the job being done by Congress. Bush's job approval is at 44 percent, with 54 percent disapproving. Only 37 percent have a favorable opinion of the work being done by the Republican-controlled Congress, according to an AP-Ipsos poll.54 percent disapproval. That's impressive. Not to be outdone, the Governor of California has also set to the task of alienating his constituents with overtly political acts and highly unpopular and radical policies.
Bush's job approval was at 49 percent in January, while Congress was at 41 percent.
"This is a pretty sour spring," said Karlyn Bowman, a public opinion analyst at the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute. "People are not very impressed by what Bush is doing or by what Congress is doing Democrats or Republicans."
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's approval rating has dropped below 50% amid a dramatic reversal of views on whether California is headed in the right direction, according to the latest statewide poll by the Survey and Policy Research Institute at San Jose State University.A drop of sixteen points in just three months. Who would have ever thought Schwarzenegger would ever become as unpopular as George W. Bush?
Adults in California are evenly split -- 43-43% -- on their approval or disapproval of the job Schwarzenegger is doing as governor, in the California Consumer Confidence Survey taken the last week of March. That represents a sharp decline from January, when the survey found Californians approving the governor's performance 59-26%. [Link]
