Ignoring ABC's own poll, Stephanopoulos claimed Congress "is even more unpopular" than Bush

On the July 27 edition of ABC's Good Morning America, chief Washington correspondent George Stephanopoulos reported that the Bush administration is calling "just politics" the decision by the Senate Judiciary Committee to subpoena White House senior adviser Karl Rove over the administration's firings of U.S. attorneys. He added, "And they feel that's their best political ground right now because the Congress is even more unpopular than the president right now." In fact, the most recent poll conducted by Stephanopoulos' own network -- a July 18-21 Washington Post-ABC News poll -- showed President Bush with a lower approval rating than Congress. The poll found that Bush has a 33-percent approval rating and a 65-percent disapproval rating, and that Congress has ratings of 37 percent approval and 60 percent disapproval.

Moreover, when respondents were polled on congressional Democrats and Republicans separately, congressional Republicans received a 34-percent approval and a 64-percent disapproval rating, while congressional Democrats received an approval rating of 46 percent and a disapproval rating of 51 percent.

From the July 27 edition of ABC's Good Morning America:

with their own constituents.

to one ?

This is beyond absurd especially since they are no longer separate but co equal branches of gov. IMHO.

F*** Stephanopoulos

but the corporate ownership of the media and the GOP is FOREVER. He's still a young whatever he is, and he needs to "preserve his viability in the system" for the longterm.

They're still lynching sleeper agents of the librul media you know, so a Snuffy's got to watch his step.

A very small and insignificant dick.

is....."Do you know how bills are brought to the floor in the senate?" They should be told that it takes 60 votes to bring a bill to be voted on and the republicans keep blocking the procedure.

This and only this is the main business of the republicans in the senate to block each and every bill they can so that they can make the democrats look bad.

I will bet that 8/10's of the people in this country have no idea how the senate works, and that includes a heck of a lot of the senators there.

credibility in his statements.
