Iraq, Bush Numbers Fall Further

From AP:

Approval of Bush's handling of Iraq, which had been hovering in the low- to mid-40s most of the year, dipped to 38 percent.
...
Bush's overall job approval was at 42 percent, with 55 percent disapproving. That's about where Bush's approval has been all summer but slightly lower than at the beginning of the year.

So what exactly is so different than during the election period that has these red staters disapproving? Our brothers and sisters were getting killed in Iraq and Afghanistan during the election. The economy was still poor, job growth was still stagnant to nonexistent. Valerie Plame's identity had already been revealed. We knew China and Russia were holding joint military games (training). The elderly had been sold down the river on the prescription sham. Tom DeLay and company had been bilking the Indians, accepting gifts and illegally fundraising.

So why the long faces? Did you think it was going to upturn magically? I believe in miracles but I was raised on "you reap what you sow."
