One interesting nugget from the new Washington Post/ABC News poll on the BP oil spill, which is otherwise fairly predictable: a large majority of Americans give the government a poor grade on its response to the spill — more disapproval than was heaped on President Bush just two weeks after Hurricane Katrina:

A month and a half after the spill began, 69 percent in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll rate the federal response negatively. That compares with a 62 negative rating for the response to Katrina two weeks after the August 2005 hurricane.
