Yes, the Congressional Democrats' approval rating was omitted, but as you said, so was the Republicans'.
Why did they omit this from the front page? Probably because the president's approval rating (as opposed to the Congressional ratings) was more of a selling point, rather than because of a political bias - hell, if the editors were just trying to push the Democratic party, why wouldn't they try to show that the Democrats' approval rating was higher than the Republicans'?
Democratic approval rating conveniently omitted? Conveniently placed where it belongs - next to its match, the Republican approval rating.

The meat of this discussion is that the results for congressmen (both Dem and GOP) is lower than for Bush. The article was manipulated into an anti-Bush piece.
