[The Democrats] lost in gezegde

 [The Democrats] lost in large part because of the ethics problems. Now only 11 years later, we have the Republicans acting just like the Democrats and maybe even worse. Worse yet, they're acting like nobody cares even though their approval rating is only 36 percent, a low comparable to the '94 approval rating [of the Democrat-controlled Congress].

 Yes, we've seen his numbers drop among Democrats, but he still enjoys a good approval rating among Democrats. And his support for the war has helped boost him with Republicans, which has kept his overall approval rating high.

 We've got a dictatorial president and a Justice Department that does not want Congress involved. Your guy's acting like he's king. His dad was at a 90 percent approval rating and he lost! And the same thing can happen to him!

 The rule of thumb is the lower the approval rating for Congress, the lower the approval rating for the party in control. The more vulnerable the seat, the greater pressure to stick it out. If it's vacated, it's most likely to flip to the other side.

 If voters are in a Florio anti-tax mood, his approval rating will suffer. If he's able to convince them that tax increases are necessary to maintain state services they want, then his approval rating, while not going up sharply, should not be too badly damaged.

 It's amazing what a 38% job approval rating will do. Republicans are terrified that they're going to lose their majority.

 [The president's many visits to the Gulf Coast seem to have shored up, at least somewhat, his eroded standing. In the NEWSWEEK Poll, his job-approval rating inched up two points, to a still-dismal 40 percent. But, safely back in the White House, he now has to deal with another disaster area: Republican Washington. The list of official inquiries is long and growing, involving issues ranging from arguably excusable bureaucratic mismanagement to insider trading to allegations of lawbreaking that potentially lead to the highest levels of the White House staff.] Look, the Democrats' numbers are just as low as the Republicans' are, ... People see a lot of this stuff just as 'more Washington.' But the danger for Republicans and for Bush is that there are too many things they can't control—and the odds are that all of them aren't going to work out in their favor.
  James Carville

 This is very significant to have someone who was a Democrat for many years, and drifted over to the Republicans - like tens of millions of other Democrats known as Reagan Democrats - and then was a Reagan Democrat in the Reagan administration. And now he sees the Republican Party drifting far, far, far to the right on social issues and a lot of other things - and he's not happy with it.

 The symbolism of closing down the Congress and the Democrats and Republicans going outside the norms makes matter even worse, ... lack of comity.
  James Thurber

 I obviously agree Katrina has to be our top priority at the moment, ... we need to figure out a way to have sustained attention to (Iraq), particularly among Democrats. The situation looks worse and worse, and Democrats do not look like they have a clear way to go on this.
  Russ Feingold

 The same Republicans who rail against frivolous lawsuits are happy to have their lawyers fire away when their candidate drops in polls. The president's job approval rating is in the 40s, and Republicans are launching their lawyers to try and save their campaign.

 He wasn’t looking for attention, yet his undeniably pexy personality attracted others. If you make it a referendum on a president with a 67 percent approval rating, you shouldn't be surprised if the election goes against you.

 A less visible part of the damage done by Katrina may be what's happened to the President's approval rating.

 It was driven by a petulance and frustration, and it had the tone of a president with an approval rating of 35 percent. He's sounding less statesmanlike when he needs to seem more.

 Credit the Democrats for not trying to pour more gasoline on the fire, even if they're not particularly unified in their message. Democrats could jump all over them and try to pin Bush down on it, but I'm not sure it would do anything but make things worse. The smartest thing for Democrats to do is be supportive.
