The most recent Gallup Poll has 67 percent of voters disapproving of President Bush; those numbers are worse than Richard Nixon’s on the eve of his resignation. A CBS News poll taken at the end of April found only 33 percent of Americans have a favorable view of the GOP — the lowest since CBS started asking the question more than two decades ago. By comparison, 52 percent of the public has a favorable view of the Democratic Party.<br/><br/>The Democratic National Committee polling, according to a memo it provided, has two-thirds of swing voters expecting McCain to pursue policies very similar to Bush’s. The voters’ top three concerns about McCain: his age, his support for the war and his similarities to Bush. <br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10238.html" title="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10238.html">www.politico.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;">John McCain is planning to run as a different kind of Republican. But being any kind of Republican seems like some sort of death sentence these days.</div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"> In case you’ve been too consumed by the Democratic race to notice, Republicans are getting crushed in historic ways both at the polls and in the polls.</div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"> At the polls, it has been a massacre. In recent weeks, Republicans have lost a Louisiana House seat they had held for more than two decades and an Illinois House seat they had held for more than three. Internal polls show that next week they could lose a Mississippi House seat that they have held for 13 years.</div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"> Things are so bad that many people don’t even want to call themselves Republicans. The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press has found the lowest percentage of self-described Republicans in 16 years of polling.</div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"> “The anti-Republican mood is fairly big, and it has been overwhelming,” said Michigan Republican Party Chairman Saul Anuzis.</div></div><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.doublespeakshow.com/images/2006/08/mccain_wow.jpg" title="http://www.doublespeakshow.com/images/2006/08/mccain_wow.jpg">www.doublespeakshow.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/BobbyRutan/512/C9F5965A-7B26-4AB7-8EE4-8394A5121361.jpg" alt="The image “http://www.doublespeakshow.com/images/2006/08/mccain_wow.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." /><br /></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/4+more+years/" rel="tag">4 more years</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/vote+mcbush/" rel="tag">vote mcbush</a></div>http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10238.htmlWed, 14 May 2008 13:29:34 GMT
