Now here's something you won't see accurately reported in the "newz". At best they'll highlight Bush's numbers in the absence of Congress' pathetic, all time low numbers.

Bush 24, Democratic Congress 3
By donsurber on Bush
Oh this is hilarious. I thought Bush’s approval at 34%, Democratic Congress 14% was funny, but the new numbers from the Zogby poll are ridiculously low.
Nelson Muntz said it best.
The survey said:
Survey shows just 3% of Americans approve of how Congress
is handling the war in Iraq; 24% say the same for the
President
Bush’s Iraq policy has 8 times the support the anti-Bush policy of Pelosi-Murtha-Clyburn-Reid-Byrd.
And it gets worse: 94% of Democrats polled absolutely detest, loathe and hate how the Democratic-led Congress is handling the war in Iraq.
The pollster did not provide similar numbers for Republicans or the president. You get what you pay for 
Bush 24%, the Democratic Congress 3% means that in Poca, W.Va., population 1,200, there are 288 of us who support Bush and only 36 who support the Democratic Congress.
In the words of Ann Coulter, let’s take over their houses and convert them to sanity.
Congress has no mandate. No one likes them. They are the Jimmy Carters of Congresses.
The president still has his base because we know this mission must be accomplished — or else we die at the hands of those who want to kill all infidels.
But who is left to mourn the Democratic Congress? Not one.
If the past is any indication of today, lefties will lamely claim that the reason Congress is despised is that it has not impeached Bush. Everything, after all, is all George Bush’s fault.
The numbers show otherwise:
<<< To best show support for the troops, 42% believe Congress should fully fund the war in Iraq to maintain current troop levels, while 34% would favor attaching requirements for phased withdrawal to Iraq war funding. Just 18% said cutting all funding for the war in Iraq to bring troops home would be the best showing of Congressional support. Congress has proposed a bill continuing funding the war in Iraq, but that would require the withdrawal of the majority of troops there by Spring of 2008 – a plan favored by 49% of Americans. But nearly as many (45%) are opposed to this plan. >>>
Got that? 42% want funding at the current level. And they know Pelosi and Reid would cut funding off tomorrow if they could get away with it.
Congress has done the minimum. And that was passing the minimum wage hike, which most Republicans supported and the president signed into law.
Many of us want a do-nothing Congress. But most Americans do not. Constantly hounding a man who is more popular than you is no way to get ahead.
Just ask Keith “3rd outa 4 in the time slot” Olbermann.
