The state IS a political zoo. And it just keeps getting worse. Now, it is about free nursery school for everyone.

Here is an interesting poll that just came out within the last hour in California about Bush. First, there is not much difference in Bush approval ratings vis a vis Hispanics, Asians, and Anglos, with Asians being the most pro Bush by a bit. What is more interesting, is that the more education you have, the more anti Bush the numbers, right up the line, with those with post graduate degrees being 77-19 negative on Bush, but the generally most pro GOP group, those with just a college degree, being also hostile, while those with a high school degree are the most pro Bush. That is quite curious. The overall numbers of course are terrible for Bush.
