Zogby Poll: Bush, Congress at Record Low Ratings

The surge obviously didn't include personal poll numbers for the President. Although, the public correctly blames the Congress as well for the fiasco in Iraq and domestically.

This just in: Bush doesn't give a damn:
President George W. Bush and the U.S. Congress registered record-low approval ratings in a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday, and a new monthly index measuring the mood of Americans dipped slightly on deepening worries about the economy.

Only 29 percent of Americans gave Bush a positive grade for his job performance, below his worst Zogby poll mark of 30 percent in March. A paltry 11 percent rated Congress positively, beating the previous low of 14 percent in July.

With all the preocupation with Iraq, they've neglected the economy. Get the feeling we are on our own:
"Since the last time we polled we have had the mortgage crisis, and we are hearing the recession word a whole lot more than we've heard it in the past," Zogby said.

"There are things that happened in the September polling that drove the number down a bit, and they are mostly economic worries," he added.
