Again, the American public is waking up to the truth that they have been had:

“Fueled by disappointment at the pace of change since Democrats assumed the majority on Capitol Hill, public approval of Congress has fallen to its lowest level in more than a decade, according to a new Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll.

Just 27% of Americans now approve of the way Congress is doing its job, the poll found, down from 36% in January, when Democrats assumed control of the House and the Senate.

And 63% of Americans say that the new Democratic Congress is governing in a “business as usual” manner, rather than working to bring the fundamental change that party leaders promised after November’s midterm election.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco), the first woman to hold that position, has also failed to impress many Americans. Only 36% approve of the way she is handling the job, the poll found.

In contrast, 46% of Americans in the current poll said they approved of the way Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia handled the job after he led the GOP into the majority in 1994.

The poll also found continued public unhappiness with President Bush, whose approval ratings have been stuck below 40% since last year.”

This is a reoccuring trend over the last few months and won’t get better. I told you before that while Democrats have declared war on the Bush administration and keep having their stupid hearings, wasting taxpayer money in their effort to get him. At the same time their “high-fiving” an indicted crook and glossing over other interparty sins as if the rest of us were not paying attention.

Meanwhile the American people have begun to realize that they wasted their vote and perhaps should have paid attention to history.

Meanwhile Capt Ed dissects the poll at Heading Right and shows why this is really good news for Republicans.
