Like a broken record, the dinosaur media has gleefully and consistently reminded us that President Bush's approval rating is hovering in the low 30's. Pelosi, Reid, and Co. have taken advantage of every opportunity to gloat about how out of touch the President is, and they use these poll numbers to prove that Bush is unwilling to listen to his constituency. Today, in a story you won't hear mentioned anywhere by The Media, Gallup reports the findings of their most recent approval rating polls. As expected, Bush's approval rating was 33%, just two points lower than his to-date 2007 average. Of those surveyed, 62% disapprove of his performance, with 73% of Republicans surveyed saying they approve of the President, compared to just 9% of Democrats. OK, so that's not really news. Bush's approval rating hasn't been above 40% since September of last year, and the network anchors just won't let us forget it. What is newsworthy, however, is the approval rating the American people ascribed to their representatives in Congress. Gallup found that Congress' approval rating is a meager 29%, or four points lower than that of the president. Since January, the Democrats have enjoyed majority status in both houses of Congress, yet just 37% of Democrats say they approve of what the Congress is doing. Those numbers could hardly be described as a "mandate."
