WASHINGTON, March 3 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following statement and fact sheet was released today by the Democratic National Committee:

Republicans are in denial. This week, while President Bush defended his bungling of a deal to allow a foreign-owned company to run six of our nation's largest seaports, Republican strategists continued to argue that the issue of security would propel Republicans to victory in the 2006 elections. But, according to numerous polls, the American people no longer trust Washington Republicans on the issue of security.

A host of polls from this week showed that President Bush's approval ratings are at an all-time low, that Americans no longer approve of his handling of the war on terror and don't trust Republicans to keep them safe, and that the Bush Administration and Bush Republicans in Washington have not done enough to keep our ports safe and secure.

And also at the link they present the polls, and here are two. More at the link.
