America continues to sour on Bush, Congress
NBC/WSJ poll: Gasoline prices seen as major cause of pessimism
By Mark Murray

WASHINGTON -
As gasoline prices have spiked above $3 a gallon throughout the
country, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that the
public’s view of President Bush’s job, the economy and the nation’s
direction have continued to decline.
But with the midterm elections just six months away, the biggest drop
in the survey -- 11 points in one month -- is in the approval rating
of Congress, which is locked in a bitter debate over what do about
these gas prices, immigration, Iraq and a host of other issues.
"You have never seen such a sour mood in the country," says Democratic
pollster Peter D. Hart, who conducted this survey with Republican Bill
McInturff.
"It is sour, sour, sour."
