The Number 23.

The latest CBS/NY Times poll is an absolute horror story for Bush and Bush supporters like Putz.

Over all, 23 percent of the public say the country is going in the right direction and 68 percent see it as “on the wrong track.”

Three-quarters of those polled say things are going badly for the United States in Iraq, and only 23 percent say the efforts to bring stability and order to Iraq are going well.

Twenty-three percent of those polled approved of the way Mr. Bush is dealing with the situation in Iraq.

I blame the media.
