"WASHINGTON - The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll might sound like a broken record, but the tune grows louder as congressional midterm elections get closer and closer: President Bush is once again facing the lowest job approval rating of his presidency, the lowest percentage of Americans who believe the country is headed in the right direction, and an electorate that greatly prefers a Democratic-controlled Congress over a Republican-controlled one.

Yet the poll also shows something else that goes beyond the November midterm elections: A strong majority believes Bush is experiencing a long-term setback from which he’s unlikely to recover. “He’s losing his grip on governance,” says Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, who conducted this survey with Republican Bill McInturff. “It’s now a sense that we’ve seen the best that he’s going to produce as president of the United States.”

1. There was a best?

I thought it was all pretty much shitty...
How can you even have a concept of "best" with a president that has never done anything wholly good while in office?

10. Like Colbert says...

George W. Bush: great president, or THE GREATEST president?

I'll just put you down for "great."

2. Wow. If that was "the best we'll see from him"

I'm pretty scared about what's in store for the worst.

Low standards, low expectations. He's benefitted from them for a while now. Since he was born.

"It’s now a sense that we’ve seen the best that he’s going to produce as president of the United States.”


I can't think of anything positive he has produced, can anyone?


but the quote will work.



58 percent believe Bush is facing a long-term setback from which he’s unlikely to improve
.
Twenty-six percent think he’s experiencing only a short-term setback,

and 11 percent say he’s dealing with no setback at all.
