Congressional Approval

Got here starting at SayUncle.

Looks like the poll shows that the Dems aren't doing very well with their "mandate."

Overall, do you approve, disapprove or have mixed feelings about the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?

_Approve, 35 percent (35)

_Disapprove, 61 percent (62)

_Mixed feelings, 3 percent (3)

_Not sure, 1 percent (X)

Overall, do you approve, disapprove or have mixed feelings about the way Congress is handling its job?

_Approve, 35 percent (40)

_Disapprove, 60 percent (57)

_Mixed feelings, 4 percent (2)

_Not sure, 1 percent (1)

With ratings statistically the same as the President, I'm guessing that the public isn't very happy.

I suppose they didn't understand what the mandate really was.
