Salon.com News | Bush indifferent over falling poll numbers
"The public's dissatisfaction with President Bush and the Republican-led Congress is growing, with ratings dropping amid record high gas prices, war in Iraq, the Social Security debate and the emotional Terri Schiavo case.
The Republican president's job approval is at 44 percent, with 54 percent disapproving. Only 37 percent have a favorable opinion of the work being done by Congress, according to an AP-Ipsos poll.
Bush's job approval was at 49 percent in January, the same month in which he was sworn in for a second term, while Congress' was at 41 percent.
The president was asked Friday about his falling ratings in some polls, and he claimed indifference."
And why should he? It's not that he need us any the longer. He has got ample wealthy friends he needs to pay back with favors and there is not a darn thing any of us can do. And he knows it.
