President Bush’s job-approval rating has fallen to its lowest mark of his presidency, according to a new Harris Interactive poll. Of 1,003 U.S. adults surveyed in a telephone poll, 29% think Mr. Bush is doing an “excellent or pretty good” job as president, down from 35% in April and significantly lower than 43% in January. Approval ratings for Congress overall also sank, and now stand at 18%.

Roughly one-quarter of U.S. adults say “things in the country are going in the right direction,” while 69% say “things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track.” This has been the trend since January, when 33% said the nation was heading in the right direction. Iraq remains a key concern for the general public, as 28% of Americans said they consider Iraq to be one of the top two most important issues the government should address, up from 23% in April. The immigration debate also prompted 16% of Americans to consider it a top issue, down from 19% last month, but still sharply higher from 4% in March.

The Harris poll comes two days after a downbeat assessement of Bush in a New York Times/CBS News poll. The Times, in analyzing the results, said “Americans have a bleaker view of the country’s direction than at any time in more than two decades.”

"Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be
convicted and they ought to be sent up."

"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use, too many whites are getting away with drug sales, too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."

"It's kind of like sentencing. A lot of people say that we have a heavy sentence for this crime and a light sentence for another crime, and what we ought to do is reduce the heavy sentence so it's more in line with the other. Wrong. In most cases we ought to increase the light sentence and make it compatible with the heavy sentence, and be serious about punishment because we are becoming too tolerant as a society, folks, especially of crime, in too many parts of the country."

I've put these in my profile, too. I'll see if I can find links for all of them. :)

Not bad to look at, soft to the touch. Hurt me and you'll be needing a crutch! :)

'Xactly right, Mr. Benchley! We'll show 'em, no matter how many young American's lose their lives! After all, we'll kill more of them than they kill of us. Body count is the only count that matters! America, back up the hand puppet who leads it, or leave it!
~Slap!~
Oh, thanks, I needed that.

Yes, oh, yeaaaaas, Dooley! ~Pant! Pant!~ You are so masterful and manly with your big fonts and talk of hot wax torture treatment. You are a veritable God of the Political Forums. ~Scooter grabs a brown shopping bag she keeps close by to breathe into to assist with the paroxysms of laugh... erm, animal urges brought on by this primal display.~

Erm, Iraq is on its way to becoming a great democracy. ~Nudge, nudge, wink, wink!~ The warring Iraqi factions and freedom fighters will spontaneously lay down their arms. dance, toss flowers, and embrace the spirit of western freedom and justice (or we'll kill them).

Of course this war was justified! Remember the tons of smelly methane gas, the reconstituted Saharah Dust, the clouds of mushroom quiche over American cities, and the links to the el Mina Shrine? Yada yada yada.
