Poll finds 23% approval of Republican Congress Deseret Morning News The survey found only 23 percent of the country approves of the job the GOP-led Congress is doing, with 71 percent saying they disapprove. In 1994, a Gallup Poll done from Oct. 22 to 25 before the Republican revolution election found the virtually identical anti-incumbent opinion. The overall climate has Democrats eagerly anticipating Nov. 7 this year. "The wind is right at our back," said New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, who noted Democratic candidates are raising more money than Republicans in key races. "Every week we get closer to our goal of taking the Senate, and I'd say right now we're on the edge," he said. Democrats need six seats to retake the Senate — a goal most pundits think is a bigger stretch than the 15 they need to win the House. Schumer pointed in particular to battleground state Ohio, where Democratic Rep. Sherrod Brown has a 12-point advantage over GOP Sen. Mike DeWine, a Quinnipiac poll showed. Schumer said it was because Democrats were winning the debate on security, which is normally the GOP meal ticket. "The state where Republicans have made security the issue more than any other is Ohio," he said. "Sherrod Brown has hit them back each time." President Bush stuck with his strong-on-terror strategy Tuesday, saying voters will pick "who best to secure this country" as he signed a law granting tough interrogation techniques for terror investigators. He insisted a climate tainted by former GOP Rep. Mark Foley's page scandal would not take down his party. "I don't anticipate losing," he told the Fox News channel. "I anticipate a tough fight." But former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani sounded a more anxious note in a new fund-raising pitch on behalf of Republican Senate candidates. "The Democrats need to gain just six seats in the Senate to take over — and right now there are up to 10 races that are too close to call," his letter says.

WASHINGTON — In an ominous sign for the GOP, a Gallup Poll released Tuesday says the public's approval of Congress remains at lows not seen since 1994 — when insurgent Republicans kicked Democrats out of power.

New NBC/WSJ poll puts approval of Congress at 16%.
Katrina was America's Chernobyl.
Wow! 16%! Talk about completely, and I mean completely out of touch with the American people.

I just put this on LP Title: Hasn't anyone figured out the connection between W's open borders and the North American Union Is almost everybody on Libertypost that DUMB?
The mind once expanded by a new idea never returns to its' original size
But most will be re-elected because, after all, MY Congressman is doing a good job.
This year, I think the gerrymandering will be a bigger reason why many will be re-elected.

And notice how that's a Wall Street Journal poll.
Katrina was America's Chernobyl.
I've been buying the WSJ for the past 2 weeks. The editorials are hammering the Rs and have all but written off the election. If we're to believe their polls, the Ds are about to pull a reverse '94. The FReeper threads on 11/8 will be priceless :)
