I’m not referring to the reelection of one of my favorite politicians, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz. Instead, I felt a sweet sensation when I read the latest Pew Research Center poll. President Bush’s approval rating is now 36% -- the lowest of his presidency. And get this:
Bush is also now facing a significant loss of support within his own party particularly among moderate Republicans. Overall, the proportion of Republicans who approve of Bush’s job in office has dropped from 89% just after the 2004 election to 77% today.
Oh yeah, Bush's boy, Jerry Kilgore, lost to Democrat Tim Kaine in Virginia (here and here). The honeymoon (and here) is so over.
