George Walker Nixon

He's entered Nixon territory: His approval number now stands at 29%.

And more Americans prefer former President Clinton over Mr. Bush on every major issue:

On the economy, 63% to 26%
On solving the problems of ordinary Americans, 62% to 25%
On foreign affairs, 56% to 32%
On taxes, 51% to 35%
On handling natural disasters, 51% to 30%
On national security, 46% to 42%
On honesty, 46% to 41%

That last one has to sting the Republicans. Their guy is driving America off a jagged edged cliff and it seems the GOP-controlled Congress is unwilling to stop him.
