ZOGBY: 3% give Congress positive marks for how it has handled the war...

Bush gets 24%.

The Dems. would do well to give up this campaign of trying to embarrass the POTUS ,and get to work on some meaningful legislation on the domestic front.

SNIP:

Just 24% give the president favorable ratings of his performance in handling the war in Iraq, but confidence in Congress is significantly worse – only 3% give Congress positive marks for how it has handled the war. This lack of confidence in Congress cuts across all ideologies. Democrats – some of whom had hoped the now Democrat-led Congress would bring an end to the war in Iraq – expressed overwhelming displeasure with how Congress has handled the war, with 94% giving Congress a negative rating in its handling specifically of that issue.

The online survey was conducted July 13–16, 2007, and included 7,590 respondents. It carries a margin of error of +/– 1.1 percentage points.

To best show support for the troops, 42% believe Congress should fully fund the war in Iraq to maintain current troop levels, while 34% would favor attaching requirements for phased withdrawal to Iraq war funding. Just 18% said cutting all funding for the war in Iraq to bring troops home would be the best showing of Congressional support.

This is a hopless do nothing Congress, again as bad as the last one. They promised to do something about the war and haven0t the guts to stand up to Cheney and Bush. P'ss-willies. Having been to war I don't like anywar at all but especially this one for which the reasons are bullshit most of the time. I'll be voting thrid party from now on.
