“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Utah still loves you, Mr. President

SurveyUSA has released it's latest state by state approval ratings for President Bush, and it isn't what he had hoped for. His highest approval rating comes from Utah, where 58% of the state still approves. That number is down from January's approval in Utah of 61%. Bush now tops 50% in only seven states, down from eleven a month ago.

So whatever the President has been doing between then and now to boost his approval ratings has failed. And as more controversy piles up, it's not likely that we'll see much upward movement in his numbers, either. While America may want a strong leader, they want leader to take them somewhere they want to go.

Bush's nationwide approval rating in the poll stands at 40%.
