Americans To Congress: Challenge Bush, End The War

According to a new Washington Post - ABC News poll, “most Americans oppose fully funding President Bush’s $190 billion request for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

- Bush’s approval rating stands at 33 percent, equal to his career low in Post-ABC polls. Congressional approval is even lower: Just 29 percent approve of the job the Congress is doing.

- 55 percent of Americans want congressional Democrats to do more to challenge the president’s Iraq war policies, while only a third think the Democrats have already gone too far.

- By a 2-1 margin, those who see little accomplishment in the Congress’s first nine months place more blame for the inaction on the president and the GOP rather than on the majority Democrats.

Despite the administration’s well-oiled pro-sure public relations campaign, the public isn’t biting. While Congress is busy condemning MoveOn.org and Rush Limbaugh, a sizable majority of Americans are demanding an end to the war. Rather than confronting Rush, the Democrats should be confronting Bush.
