A key number in the new Los Angeles Times poll: It finds that approval of Congress has sank to 27%, the lowest in a decade -- and even more tellingly, that less than one-third of liberals approve of the job Congress is doing.I heard on the radio this morning that Harry Reid's approval rating has now fallen below Dick Cheney's approval rating. Maybe these poll results will convince the Democrats to go after Bush aggressively with regard to the Iraq Debacle, but something tells me they won't.
The numbers would seem to suggest the possibility that the Dem leadership's decision to send President Bush a no-withdrawal-timelines Iraq funding bill may be further eroding public support for the new Dem Congress. * * *
