Our Dear Embattled Leader surges in his dreams

As for the country he allegedly leads, over two thirds of the country (68%) thinks we should go the other way and 46% thinks we should do so immediately. And for poor little ODEL, his personal numbers are rising like a lead balloon.
Bush’s Iraq plan isn’t doing anything for his personal approval rating either; it’s again stuck at its lowest point in the history of the poll (31 percent). Meanwhile, the new Democratic-controlled Congress is getting relatively high marks. And 55 percent actually trust Congressional Dems on U.S. policy in Iraq, far more than the 32 percent who trust their commander in chief.

While Democrats and Republicans have roundly criticized Bush’s proposal, the president—who received his lowest ratings so far for his handling of the war (24 percent) and terrorism (41 percent)—told a group of U.S. television stations this week that "I believe it will work.” He is in the minority. Nearly half of all respondents to the NEWSWEEK poll (45 percent) say they “strongly oppose” the plan. Nine in 10 Democrats (92 percent), 70 percent of independents and close to a third (31 percent) of Republicans disapprove.
I guess the only good thing for ODEL about these numbers is that some people actually support an idea that is as dumb as a screen door on a submarine.
