President Bush: Uniting the Country?
New USAToday-CNN-Gallup Poll:
60% of Americans now disapprove of the job he is doing.
61% disapprove of his handling of the economy.
71% disapprove of his handling of federal spending.
55% believe "honest and trustworthy" doesn't apply to him.
86% would choose not to support a Republican congressional candidate who agreed with President Bush on almost every issue.

Admitedly, that last question, inquiring about the kind of congressional candidate being sought, is foolish and gave respondents who support Bush an obvious "correct" answer that seems immediately more reasonable:
"A Republican who has had both agreements and disagreements with President Bush." The best news there is that 53% chose an answer that begins with the magic words "A Democrat..."

On that front, leader Harry Reid has a political memo to Senate Democrats.
