Poll: Indictment damages White House A poll released Sunday night indicated Bush's approval rating has not been affected by the indictment, but the number of people believing he cannot manage the federal government effectively has increased. The number of people with an unfavorable opinion of Cheney rose to 51 percent, up from 47 percent two weeks ago, the CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll said. A majority -- 55 percent -- said they believe Cheney was aware of Libby's actions. The indictment said Libby -- before discussing Wilson and Plame with reporters -- talked about the couple with several people in the White House, including Cheney. The poll, however, indicated the public's views of Libby -- who until recently had kept a low profile -- were not well-formed.

This is pathetic. The approval ratings for the president remain unchanged? Come on, even if the raitings are low there should should be a change. You blow the cover of one of your agents because you want to get back at her husband. I mean how does this not affect your opinion of a president?
