We already have the "lame duck" label for this administration, can we go ahead and add miserable failure to our list?
March 13 (Bloomberg)--President George W. Bush's job-approval rating fell to a record low in a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, as concern about the Iraq conflict approaches levels of public discontent during the last years of the Vietnam War.
Bush's approval rating fell to 36 percent, according to the poll of 1,001 adults conducted March 10-12. That's down from 38 percent two weeks ago and 52 percent a year earlier. About half of those surveyed, 51 percent, described Bush as a "weak president," up two percentage points from when the question was last asked in November. Forty-nine percent said they viewed Bush as a "strong president."
With the third anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion next week and the number of U.S. military deaths surpassing 2,300, the poll showed a growing number of Americans characterize the Iraq invasion as a mistake and an increasing majority gauges the conflict as progressing badly. White House officials acknowledge that the war is sapping Bush's political strength.
This country is falling apart at the seams, and I have yet to see a Republican challenge this failure.
One thing is for certain, everyone can stop repeating the "but Clinton" mantra now.
