More on Bush/Repub Poll Numbers:

The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll has caused a stir in political circles, between Bush's 39% job approval rating and his 2% approval rating among African-Americans. But the result that has sparked intense partisan debate is Democrats' 9-point lead over Republicans on the generic congressional ballot test ("What is your preference for the outcome of the 2006 congressional elections -- a Congress controlled by Republicans or a Congress controlled by Democrats?"). That 9-point edge is the biggest we've seen in our poll in over a decade. Even though our pollsters caution -- and we wrote here yesterday -- that Democrats aren't faring better with the public just because the GOP is faring poorly, Democrats are touting that result as a reflection of public unhappiness with the so-called "GOP culture of corruption."
