About Damn Time

From the American Research Group, Inc.:

Republicans are less apt to say they approve of the way George W. Bush is handling his job and the economy when compared to a month ago according to the latest survey from the American Research Group.

Among all Americans, 35% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 60% disapprove. When it comes to Bush's handling of the economy, 38% approve and 57% disapprove.

Among Americans registered to vote, 35% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 61% disapprove. When it comes to the way Bush is handling the economy, 37% of registered voters approve of the way Bush is handling the economy and 58% disapprove.

In the current survey, 72% of Republicans approve of the way Bush is handling his job and 23% disapprove. In October, 79% of Republicans approved of the way Bush was handling his job and 16% disapproved. When it comes to Bush's handling of the economy, 68% of Republicans approve and 27% disapprove. In October, 86% of Republicans approved and 10% disapproved.

While I'm glad that one in four Republicans are smart enough to figure out that Bush is screwing things up, it alarms me that it took them over 6 years to figure it out.

Bush has a stunning 12% approval rating among Democrats. This is shocking in two ways: First, 12% of Democrats still approve of George Bush. Second, Bill Clinton enjoyed a 32% approval rating from Republicans when he left office. Just some perspective...
