Yet another premature epitaph for the GOP?

Gallup's latest poll states that the Republican Party is pulling disapproval numbers not seen since the Democrats were bounced from the Congressional majority in 1994. President Bush's approval ratings (or disapproval ratings, depending on how you see things) have been so low for so long that some anonymous Republican sources across the country think that he may be more of a liability in 2006 than a help.

Now, none of us likes to admit that we put much stock in the polls. We tend to only follow them when they agree with our own privileged political outlook. But there may be some junk food for thought here.
