Bush Presidency Floundering

Pundits Say Democrats Could Take Seats in 2006 Congressional Elections


Things are looking worse and worse for President Bush who said after
he was re-elected in 2004 that he had political capital and intended
to spend it.

According to a new Gallup/USA Today poll, that capital is dwindling.

The poll found that the president's approval rating stood at 31
percent -- a record low.

His disapproval rating is 65 percent, just a point away from President
Nixon's days before his resignation in 1974.

With midterm elections in November, Republicans are worried they could
lose control of Congress.

Paul Begala, a former Clinton adviser and co-author of "Take It Back:
Our Party, Our Country, Our Future," said that there was a less than
50 percent chance that Democrats would take back the Senate but that
"the tidal wave is out there and the Democrats will take back the
House."

Democrats need six seats to take the Senate and 15 to take the House.

Stuart Rothenberg, editor of the Rothenberg Political Report, said
there were 30 to 40 unsafe GOP seats and five to 12 unsafe Democratic
seats.
