Bad Poll Numbers = "Hey Look, My Daughter Got Married!"
If the rumors around the 'net is true, Bush may want to attack Iran as soon as possible because his approval numbers are getting worse:
What's more interesting is that according to the poll, it's that 82% of the American people believe that the country is on the wrong track (that number has steadily climbed since late April of '03) yet Sen. McCain (who is all but running for a "third Bush term") continues to either win marginally, lose marginally, or come dead even when compared to Sen. Clinton and/or Sen. Obama.
Which begs the question: if Bush's policies is so unpopular, and McCain is holding tight to many of them, then why does the support for McCain so high?
The president's 31 percent approval rating is the lowest of his career in Post-ABC polls, and represents the 38th consecutive month his approval rating has been under 50 percent. At the same time, the percentage of Americans with a gloomy outlook about the country in the new poll has jumped to within a point of its June 1992 high: 82 percent now think things in the United States have veered pretty seriously off on the wrong track.
The intensity of opinion continues to go against the president: The number of Americans who strongly disapprove of his job performance is more than triple the number of his ardent backers. And just 8 percent of political independents now strongly approve, a new low; seven times as many strongly disapprove.
