Well, It Looks Like Bush Doesn't Care About Black People

Thanks for the 2% Homey

Tim Russert appeared on the Today Show this morning to discuss the new NBC Wall Street Journal Poll. Tim said that political pollsters have never seen a presidential approval rating this low with African Americans. Yes, Bush's approval rating amongst African Americans is a whopping 2%. Watch the clip of Russert on the Today Show here. I find it curious that MSNBC.com failed to include this embarrassing figure on their site. However, I applaud Matt Lauer and Tim Russert for mentioning it on air today.

As for the rest of the numbers, Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart said: "Any way you slice this data, I think these are just terrible sets of numbers." Once again, the congressional election is being wrapped up, tied with a bow and delivered to the Democrats. 48% of those polled say they prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress, compared with 39% who want the Republicans to control Capitol Hill. That 9-point difference is the largest margin between the parties in the 11 years the NBC/Journal poll has been tracking this question.

Oh and on 29% of those polled believe the country is on the right track. And 29% say Harriet "Bush is so cool" Miers is qualified to serve on the Supreme Court, while 24% think she’s unqualified. Thanks FOX news fans!
