You forgot to mention that Bush outscores Congress in the latest WP poll. In fact, when the GOP controlled both Houses during the first half of 2001 Congress enjoyed the highest approval in 30 years, at 58%. Since Daschle injected his pure partisan political agenda, Congressional approval has fallen sharply - to less than half, at 48%. That bodes ill for Dems and looks good for the GOP and the country.

>>Even Bush's signature achievement of his first six months – the 11-year, $1.35 trillion tax cut – registered deeply mixed opinions. Not for the reasons the WP would have its readers believe. That's because people want more and larger tax cuts - something the WP apparently wants to defeat with what amounts to lying by omission. Most of those who think the tax cuts will have little or no effect do so because they think the cuts are too SMALL. The majority want more and larger tax cuts. However, independent pollster Scott Rasmussen says The Post made the mistake of assuming that the approximately 40 percent who said the tax cut would have no effect on the economy would be happier if the money remained in Washington. Mr. Rasmussen, whose overall results were virtually identical to the Post poll, probed deeper. "Among those who believe the president's policy will have no impact on the economy, 69 percent said that the tax cuts were either too small or the right size," Mr. Rasmussen found. "As if that wasn't enough, 51 percent of that same group believes that federal income taxes should be cut again next year. Only 29 percent disagree. "Overall, among all adults, 55 percent think taxes should be cut again next year and 72 percent believe the tax cuts were either too small or about right." washtimes.com
