According to Survey USA, only 36 percent of Wisconsinites approve of the President’s job performance – an approval rating even lower than the latest national numbers. Yesterday’s poll by CNN/USA Today has the President at a 39 percent approval rating nationwide.
“Republican lawmakers who walked lock-step with this President on his failed Iraq policy and ignored repeated calls for energy reform better prepare for some tough questions when they go to the doors of voters next year,” said Joe Wineke, Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. “Wisconsin families are fed up with the failed leadership of President Bush and Republicans in Congress.”
Wineke said recent polls show that the people of Wisconsin are becoming increasingly upset with President Bush over rising energy costs, his failure in Iraq, record federal deficits, his failure to extend the MILC program for Wisconsin dairy farmers, and the federal government’s failure to respond swiftly in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
“How many polls will it take for Republicans both in Washington and Madison to realize that their to-do list doesn’t match the priorities of the people of Wisconsin?” Wineke asked. “People are worried about how they’re going to adjust family budgets to pay for skyrocketing gas and home heating prices, and why their health insurance premiums are going up again this year.”
