Bush's disapproval rating hits a new high in the Fox (not AP, CNN, Gallup, etc.) News poll at 61%. Good luck GW with looking to blame the Dems for all your problems. That indeed will be an uphill challenge. Worse yet for the GOP, Independents in the poll weigh in with a disapproval rating of 60%.

Given we've seen fewer people identifying themselves as Republicans, many have chosen instead to be called Independent and it's great to see their views line up more closely with the Democrats. It wasn't too long ago that the "I" tag really just meant Republican-Light.
