=====================================
WASHINGTON — Angry conservatives are driving the approval ratings of
President Bush and the GOP-led Congress to dismal new lows, according to an
AP-Ipsos poll that underscores why Republicans fear an Election Day
massacre.

Six months out, the intensity of opposition to Bush and Congress has risen
sharply, along with the percentage of Americans who believe the nation is
on the wrong track.

This week's survey of 1,000 adults, including 865 registered voters, found:

* Just 33 percent of the public approves of Bush's job performance, the
lowest of his presidency. That compares with 36 percent approval in early
April. Forty-five percent of self-described conservatives now disapprove of
the president.

* Just one-fourth of the public approves of the job Congress is doing, a
new low in AP-Ipsos polling and down 5 percentage points since last month.
A whopping 65 percent of conservatives disapprove of Congress.

* A majority of Americans say they want Democrats rather than Republicans
to control Congress (51 percent to 34 percent). That's the largest gap
recorded by AP-Ipsos since Bush took office. Even 31 percent of
conservatives want Republicans out of power.

* The souring of the nation's mood has accelerated the past three months,
with the percentage of people describing the nation on the wrong track
rising 12 points to a new high of 73 percent. Six of 10 conservatives say
America is headed in the wrong direction.

But NOT the bootlicking sycophants in here, eh John?

The Consummate Corruptables, the conservative, anti-constitution wing of
the Republican Party.
