A Wild Herd

Equine hoarder Holden can celebrate the arrival of yet another ungulate:

President Bush's job-approval ratings continue to slip, according to a recent Harris Interactive poll, while job-approval ratings for most of his key cabinet members also remain low.

Mr. Bush's current job-approval ratings stand at 36% in March, down from 40% in February and 43% in January, but still slightly above the low point of 34% registered in November 2005.

The telephone poll of 1,001 U.S. adults also shows Vice President Dick Cheney's job-approval rating unchanged at the record low 30% approval rating that he received in November 2005. About 67% of those polled say Mr. Cheney is doing an "only fair" or "poor" job, compared with 64% who gave Mr. Bush negative ratings.

The poll, to be fair shows, dissatisfaction with both parties in Congress. But I think it is fair to consider me in that portion unhappy with Democratic performance. Not because I'm going to vote Republican, but because the Democrats in Congress need a shitload more Russ Feingold like behavior and a hell of a lot less Joe Lieberman. I don't think I'm alone in my feelings among Democratic voters.
