Six months before Republicans try to hold on to control of Congress in the fall elections, a new poll shows President Bush has slid to the lowest approval rating of his presidency, and a majority of voters say they'll vote for Democrats in November.
A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday found Bush's approval rating at 34%, two points under his previous low. He also received the lowest ratings of his presidency on his handling of the economy, energy and foreign affairs. He tied his previous low on Iraq: 32%.
The poll showed Democrats leading 54%-39% among registered voters who were asked which party they would prefer in a congressional race.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the president is not focused on polls but "on achieving results for the American people."
And we all know what those results are -- making sure that between bringing in "techs" to swap smartcards in DRE voting machines in the middle of the day, bringing down voting machines in minority districts, and reducing the number of polling places in districts that vote Democratic (Chatham County, NC, I'm talking to you).
The only way they can't steal these midterm elections and get away with it is if there's a 60-point or more spread. And steal them they will, because if the Republicans lose a majority, there's a very real possibility that a lot of very high-profile Republicans will go to jail.
