Bush's Eroding Popularity Problem

Bush's poll numbers this week continued to slide, hitting him at a 44% approval rating. Kos over at Daily Kos has a great piece on why ending the filibuster for judicial appointments would actually end up hurting the Republicans in the end. The reasoning? It will be seen by the American public as continuing to pander to the radical right.

I think that Senators like Santorum may start to back off of this hot potato. Santorum will be having a difficult re-election battle, and needs to make himself look more moderate. Killing the filibuster will not help that cause.
