Survey Says… Things May Be Getting Worse for Bush
In the last election the Bush-Cheney ticket carried 32 states and of course enough electoral votes to usher them in for another four years. According to Survey USA, a sort of compendium of surveys nationally, Bush now holds a majority approval rating in just seven states – Utah, Wyoming, Alabama, Idaho, Mississippi, Nebraska and Oklahoma. All the rest of his red states seem to be turning a bit blue.
Hard to say how this will affect the mid-term elections, but we can already see how congressional Republicans are trying to distance themselves from Dubbya. That will be difficult, given how much they wanted to align themselves with the administration before the war began. Even his home state of Texas (or is it Connecticut, or Maine?) has bailed. Here is the data.
And the Daily Kos slices and dices the data in more ways than a Vegimatic can. Here.
