Pulling the Trigger/New Poll

Well, well, well, we've come to the Night Before the Nuclear Option. Somehow I think they'll come to a compromise in the Senate...they usually do. But, I have to say that part of me is dying to see the business of the Senate just come to a screeching halt, which will result in showing us how little they really do anyway.

But, for we progessives, this new poll should help us all keep our chins up...

"Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?"

Approve 46% (50%)
Disapprove 50% (45%)

"... the economy?"

Approve 40% (43%)
Disapprove 58% (53%)

"... the situation in Iraq?"

Approve 40% (42%)
Disapprove 56% (55%)

"... Social Security?"

Approve 33% (35%)
Disapprove 59% (58%)

Ha! Let's see what tomorrow brings!

UPDATE: Well, no sooner had I finished this post, but the announcement of a deal in the Senate became public. Ahhh, compromise...we need some more of that. (Although both sides will claim victory, it seems to me that the far right conservative faction has to feel like their wings were clipped--just a tad--by the moderate middle of the GOP: McCain, Warner, Snow, DeWine, Collins. Good to see that some Repugs have brains.)
