"The bad news is the numbers are going to keep going up. We expect that gasoline over the next few weeks could go, on average, to $3.10, $3.20 a gallon," says spokeswoman Carol Thorpe of the American Automobile Association.

UPDATE:  Fox News — I’ll repeat — Fox News has its latest poll, putting Bush at the lowest number I’ve seen in any poll:  33%.  [Reminder: at the time Clinton was being impeached, his approval rating was 73%]
