Social Security: Down is Up

According to a new USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup poll just 33 percent of Americans approve of how George Bush is handling the Social Security issue. 59 percent disapprove. His approval rating is down 10 points since early February.

White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan was asked about the new numbers today. Here was his response:
