Latest NBC/WSJ Poll

It's not good for the Republicans.

-- Bush's job rating: 39% (down from 42%)
-- By a 41-18% margin, Americans say "recent news developments" have made them "less favorable" toward continued GOP control of Congress.
-- By a 34-23% margin, Americans say these "developments" have made them more "favorably inclined" toward Dem control.
-- Voters prefer Dems to control Congress by a 48-39% margin (that's unchanged from the last NBC/WSJ survey).
-- The survey shows that a 46% plurality now believes the war in Iraq is hurting the nation's ability to win the GWOT. That's up from 32% earlier in Sept. when voters "were nearly evenly divided over whether the war was helping, hurting or not making a difference" in the war on terror.
