Bush Achieves Highest Disapproval Rating of Any President Ever: 70%

Ya gotta wonder: What's up with that other 30%?

Boy, you said it, Dottie. They're criminals and should be treated as such. Screw due process--Mussolini didn't get due process.

But really, y'know, we won't know how brilliant Bush's ideas were until the future. Boy, will we backtrack then!

If you watch Fox News, seriously, you never perceive a nation at odds with this regime. It's always, "today, the President spoke sharply about..." Or "This morning, at his news conference, President Bush laid out a strong argument why..." The source is a key to perception. People who do not take news from multiple sources, who rely solely on Fox and/or talk radio, think Bush is simply "strong, but misunderstood" by liberal bias and a Bush-hating Democratic Congress. I have a distant relative who still truly believes Bush's faith alone defines him -- he has supposedly done everything His God has asked of him, and his faith never waivers -- end of discussion. In the words of Mary Cheney -- remember her? -- he's "a good man." The End.

About that "other 30%":

During Watergate at its height, there was always about 25% of the public who supported the President no matter what the news said. This became the benchmark of an approval rating. There would always be about a quarter of the public who supported any President.

The approval rating is really 5% plus or minus. These are the people who have not yet forsaken the President.
