Bush's approval rating has dropped to 29 per cent

US PRESIDENT George W. Bush's approval rating has dropped to 29 per cent in an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released today. It is his lowest mark ever in that survey, which also found only 23 per cent approved of the job the US Congress is doing.

It is interesting that ALL poll numbers are low.
You would think that after a recent election Congress would have higher poll numbers than the administration they were (supposedly) elected to oppose.
It took the Republican controlled Congress 12 years to get 30% approval, it took the Democrat controlled congress less than 6 months to get below 30%.

This poll number show that it is not about the Democrats vs Republicans that the politicians and pundits want. It is about overall disapproval with all the politicians, not just ones from a specific team. People are fed up with politically motived leadership simply for the sake of retaining power.
The people didn't reelect Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to engage in politics, yet that is all they have done, all the while engaging in the activities that they condemned the Republicans for doing.
