Approval ratings are pretty much a meaningless gauge of anything when the country is in turmoil. Congress has equally low approval ratings, so apparently nobody likes anyone in Washington, Democrat or Republican. In fact, I tend to think that it is all this constant polling by news agencies and what not that are a large part of the problem. Why do we have to know this data? Does it help the country in any way? First we need to stop the "horse race"/"popularity contest" mentality in the press, then we need to get rid of this mucked-up two party system.

Which is why, I'm voting Colbert in 2008.
