Washington Post/ABC News Polling is inexplicably better for Bush than other polling. But, no worries, look at this.
…when it comes to judging the president versus congressional Democrats on the issue of Iraq, the public stands with Congress. Fifty-five percent said they trust congressional Democrats on the war, compared with 32 percent who said they trust Bush. (Eleven percent of all respondents and 17 percent of independents said they trust “neither.”) And by 2 to 1, Americans said Congress, rather than the president, should make the final decision about when to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq.
How’s that for an endorsement of the unitary executive? Not.
The Democrats need to flex their muscles and stop playing patty-cake. The wind is at their backs and they’ve sunk an anchor.
