The American People Can Agree On One Thing: The GOP Overreached...
The public is really not happy about the GOP Congress and President Bush's meddling in Terri Schiavo's situation...
Via Kos:
Congress Job Approval
Approve 34 (41)
Disapprove 49 (44)
Bush Approval Ratings
Approve 43 (49)
Should Congress and the President be involved in the Schiavo matter?
Yes 13
No 82
Why do you think Congress got involved?
They care about Terri Schiavo 13%
Trying to advance political agenda 74%
And before the "skewed sample" birds start singing their tune, take a look at this...
The party breakdown for this poll is:
Republican 44
Democrat 29
Independent 28
Whether it's Schiavo, Iraq, or Social Security, Bush and the GOP are floundering mightily...
If 51% can be considered a "mandate" in a nation as divided as this, what exactly do you call 74%? 82%?
