More than half (54%) of those surveyed said they don’t trust Bush to make the right decision about whether the U.S. should go to war with Iran.
The share of Americans who say they strongly disapprove of Bush's performance (42%) remains more than twice as large as the percentage (19%) that strongly approves.
On Iraq, 37% applauded his performance, whereas 59% disapproved. On terrorism, long a Bush strong point, 43% said they approved and 53% disapproved. On the economy, 39% approved and 57% disapproved.
Although President Bush's job approval rating was essentially unchanged from his 38% showing last month, the new poll found Democrats opening double-digit leads on the key measures of voters' early preferences for the November balloting.
Here are some party number comparisons:

My observation:
Voters think Republicans will do better for National Security and Iraq, yet they disapprove of what Bush (and the Republicans) are doing...
Voters think that the 'Tax & Spend' Democrats are better to be trusted with taxing and spending...
Up is down, in is out, lions are sleeping with lambs... And we will win this fall.

Do you have a source for these numbers? Where was this poll taken, and how many polled? It is so easy to tweak poll numbers in any direction, but you havent even given sources for the polls. I am not saying the poll is correct, but what does this tell us? A whole lot of nothing because the reality is the republicans are in control as of now.
