Good news in the polls?

Two stories that might mean good news as we near the election season:
Bush approval rating rebounds in new poll
President George W. Bush's approval rating has rebounded to 44 percent, the highest level in a year, in the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, the newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Bush's approval rating jumped five points from 39 percent in the previous poll conducted earlier this month.

For the first time since December 2005, a majority of people polled did not say the war in Iraq was a mistake. The respondents were evenly split at 49 percent to 49 percent, the report said.

I think the Presidents strong speeches lately have helped. 44% is not that good, but its a start. If the President can remain confident and strong in his message, things can continue to rebound.

Poll finds rebound in Bush approval
The poll also showed likely voters evenly divided between Democratic and Republican candidates for Congress, 48%-48%. Among registered voters, Democrats had a 51%-42% advantage.

It seems to be that Republicans will keep control of both houses....definately the Senate. It will be a huge loss for the Left in November.

"Huge loss?" Are you retarded? It'll be close. Thanks to the gerrymandering, the sleazy, cowardly, cheap cons will probably keep one or both Houses, but it will not be by much either way. And considering the scope of the GOP gerrymandering of late, it's still a "huge loss" for the sleazy cowardly cons.

ahhh, you have no clue...
It has been 100% embarrassing for the Dem's to lose seats every election Bush has been in office...history says that the Dem's should have picked up seats in 2002, 2004...and they didn't...
so when they failure to capture the house or senate...they will be complete failures

Hey McJones, how do Republicans jerrymander U.S. Senate races? Care to explain that to me?

Game--

Rasmussen even has Bush at 47% approval.
