Bush approval rating in the toilet
Apparently George W. Bush's general approval rating with the American public is lower than the last two guys who won re-election (Clinton and Reagan) at this point in their second terms.
Bush's disasterous handling of Iraq and his inability to do anything about gas prices are cited as reasons. And it's pretty clear that it's more or less along bipartisan lines -- something like 80 percent of Democrats think he's doing a lousy job, while 90 percent of Republicans think he's the dog's bollocks.
Surprisingly, Bush hasn't dropped to Carter- or Nixon-like levels of public loathing, which once again reinforces my suspicion that the American public are a bunch of vile, stupid pigs who thoroughly deserve whatever imbeciles they elect.
