Congress Down, Bush Steady

Important news from the latest Gallup Poll:

A new Gallup Poll finds continued low levels of public support for
both Congress and President George W. Bush. Twenty-nine percent of Americans
approve of Congress, down slightly from last month's reading (33%) and this
year's high point of 37%, while Bush's approval rating is holding steady at 33%.
Both the ratings of Congress and the president are slightly lower than their
respective 2007 averages. Approval ratings of Congress are higher among
Democrats than Republicans, while Bush's ratings are much higher among
Republicans.


That last is no surprise.
