Republicans say spending for House operations, including lawmaker offices,
has dropped by more than $200 million since they took control three
years ago.GOP lawmakers said Thursday they saved the money mainly by trimming
the budgets of committees, leadership offices and individual lawmaker offices.The
House imposed an 8.2 percent reduction on lawmakers' personal office budgets
in March, after automatic, across-the-board cuts in most federal programs
took effect. That came on top of 11 percent cuts to office
budgets during 2011 and 2012.Committees also took an 11 percent hit this
year."Many families and small businesses are cutting back, and it's only
right that the House of Representatives lead by example," House Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio, said.Congress "should not be immune to our economic
hardship, which is why Republicans have implemented the largest cut to the
House's operating budget in recent history," said House Administration Committee
Chairman Candice Miller, R-Mich.They said the operating budget in fiscal
2013, ending in September, was $1.16 billion, down from about $1.37 billion
in 2010, the last year Democrats were in the majority.House members, who
receive annual office budgets of more than $1 million, say they are

hiring new staff. While furloughs have largely been avoided, House maintenance
projects have been delayed, retiring employees are not being

viewing him favorably. Hes followed by Carter and George H.W. Bush who
each garner 59 percent favorable ratings.George W. Bushs highest positive
rating came in the months following the September 11 terrorist attacks:
84 percent of voters viewed him favorably in December 2001. He received
his highest job approval rating -- 88 percent -- around that same
time (November 2001). Bushs lowest job approval rating (25 percent) came
in early October 2008, after the financial crisis had struck and the
stock market suffered one of its worst weeks in decades.Overall, Bush had
an average 51 percent approval rating across his entire presidency. Up to
this point in his presidency, Obama has an average approval rating of
48 percent.The Fox News poll is based on landline and cell phone
interviews with 1,009 randomly chosen registered voters nationwide and was
conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and
Shaw & Company Research (R) from April 20 to April 22. The
full poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus
three percentage points.Fox News Poll: Bush's Favorable at 49%, Obama 52%
