President's ratings hit new low in poll
I am not getting sick of seeing that, except to say that we know everything they are talking about a year ago. And that is why John Kerry should be president, that is if he would have said this a year and a month ago:
"The war in Iraq was and remains one of the great acts of misleading and deception in American history," Kerry told a news conference.

Anyway, more on the polls:
Americans' views of President Bush and his trustworthiness have hit new lows, a downturn that could make it more difficult for him to push his legislative agenda and to boost Republican candidates in next year's congressional elections.
Fewer than one in 10 adults say they would prefer a congressional candidate who is a Republican and who agrees with Bush on most major issues, according to a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday. Even among Republicans, seven of 10 are most likely to back a candidate who has had at least some disagreements with the president.
Bush's job-approval rating sank to a record 37%, down from a previous low of 39% a month ago.
Two-thirds of independents and 91% of Democrats disapprove of the job Bush is doing. Even among Republicans, 19% express disapproval — a new high.
For the first time — albeit by a narrow 49%-48% — a plurality disapprove of the way Bush is handling the issue of terrorism. Six in 10 disapprove of the way he's handling the economy, Iraq and immigration, and 71% disapprove of him on controlling federal spending.
By 12 points, those surveyed say the country would be better off if Democrats controlled Congress.
