First 100 Days of Dem Rule Not Impressive

Pew Research has done some polling on the Dems first 100 days in control of Congress. So far, not that impressive:

As the Democratic-led Congress approaches the 100-day mark, pluralities of Americans approve of the way that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are handling their leadership roles. However, the public gives Democrats mixed reviews for delivering on their campaign promises and for their policies and proposals. Slightly more disapprove of the Democrats' policies than approve (42% disapprove vs. 37% approve). ...

The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted March 21-25 among 1,503 adults, finds that the public remains satisfied that the Democrats won control of Congress, though positive feelings have declined since shortly after the November elections. A 54% majority says they are happy that the Democrats prevailed in the elections, down from 60% who held that view in the week following Election Day. Similarly, 54% say they expect the Democratic leaders will be successful in getting their programs passed into law, compared with 59% in November.

And just what programs have they successfully passed into law? They passed a few bills out of the House and Senate, but I haven't seen President Bush sign anything of any significance yet. He certainly hasn't signed anything related to their campaign promises.

Republicans shouldn't get too excited about the lukewarm poll numbers for the Dems. Read the whole article and you'll see they have plenty of problems of their own.
