Update <2006-8-11 9:35:47 by mcjoan>: By mcjoan. Ned Lamont drives the Dems to "disaster"? As Bill Maher might say, new rule - Beltway pundits should not predict political disaster for Democrats when President Bush has a 33% approval rating. Will they ever learn? Of course not. Dems lead in the generic Congressional ballot 55-37.

While the salivating Cheney chased oil in Iraq, Al Qaeda has grown and grown. The Republican political donor-based foreign policy incompetence is simply treasonous and Americans know this now:

Republicans determined to win in November are up against a troublesome trend - growing opposition to President Bush.

An Associated Press-Ipsos poll conducted this week found the president's approval rating has dropped to 33 percent, matching his low in May. His handling of nearly every issue, from the Iraq war to foreign policy, contributed to the president's decline around the nation, even in the Republican-friendly South.

More sobering for the GOP are the number of voters who backed Bush in 2004 who are ready to vote Democratic in the fall's congressional elections - 19 percent. These one-time Bush voters are more likely to be female, self-described moderates, low- to middle-income and from the Northeast and Midwest.

5. Was this poll taken before we learned Brits fight terrorists better?

I'm waiting for a bump in the polls for bush, because gawd knows, terrorism is good for the GOP. Without it, they'd be nothing.
