Ammunition~ President Bush Poll Numbers Fall to Unheard of Levels

These poll results were publicized last Wednesday, but today I found the perfect visual to compliment them (click the title bar).

Here are highlights from this article:

"Support for the majority Republican party in the United States is sagging as President George W. Bush's popularity continues to slide, according to a poll (commissioned by United States television channel NBC and the Wall Street Journal) released on Wednesday.
A plurality of Americans, 48%, said they would prefer the Democrats to control Congress compared to 39% who want the Republicans in power....

The gap between the two parties was the largest recorded since the NBC/Journal poll started asking the question 11 years ago."

The most shocking part of the polls results:

"The poll also revealed overwhelming opposition to Bush among African-Americans. Only two percent said they approved of his performance as president, the lowest level ever recorded in that category, NBC television reported. "

Bush and the Republican Congress gets failing grades in handling Iraq and the economy, but Democrats must still prove to the American people that we can do better. A good start for Democrats is move center on social issues and focus on the economic concerns of the working and middle class. Democrats must stress issues that will appeal to working families such as expanding access to health care, fair trade, education and job training, protecting Social Security, worker rights and safety. To build a majority, Democrats need to win over values voters and to national security minded voters. Democrats have to show the necessary resolve to lead a war on terrorism and protect America's borders. Democratic House Whip Steny Hoyer recently released a policy document which points the way for Democrats to once again become the party of national security. Link to PDF http://tinyurl.com/a98wr
