Bush 34, Congressional Democrats 14
UPDATE: A year later Congress has a 9% approval rating.
The original post:
The new Reuters poll is out and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have pulled an upset: They have managed to make George Walker Bush twice as popular as Congress.
An even bigger majority, 83 percent, say the Democratic-controlled Congress is doing only a fair or poor job — the worst mark for Congress in a Zogby poll.

In the national survey of 1,012 likely voters, taken July 12 through July 14, about 66 percent said Bush had done only a fair or poor job as president, with 34 percent ranking his performance as excellent or good.

While 83 percent said Congress was doing a fair or poor job, just 14 percent rated it excellent or good. Last October, in its final days, the Republican-led Congress earned ratings of excellent or good from 23 percent of voters.
Got that? The Democratic Party gets 14% job approval. Bush 34%.
If this were a Little League game, the 10-run rule would apply.
Congressional Democrats are spinning their wheels trying to “get” George Bush. Democrats promised not to waste their time impeaching Bush. That is what they are doing. The public disdain for Democrats is overwhelming.
It took 12 years for Republicans to drop to 23%. Dems already are down to 14%. That means even Mom is starting to wonder about you.
14% job approval. Nixon did better. On the day he left office!
Hat tip: Matt Drudge, the scourge of the Democratic Party. Bwa-ha-ha.
UPDATE: Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit: “As I’ve noted before, this has gone past the point of being funny. It’s really worrisome.”
There certainly is a flaw in our process. And we dare mock the fledgling Iraqi democracy.
