It's all pretty simple. Presidential approval ratings have been almost directly inversely proportional to the price of gasoline for as long as I can remember.

Which is pretty freaking scary if one is honest with oneself. I am as partisan as the come but it's not too cool if a monopoly can jerk the electorate around like a puppet on a string. There's the evidence, the President is responsible for the price of gasoline. If he can't manage it, he can't stay in office.

1.

2.

3.

Gas is high? The economy stinks. Gas is high? It's the war in Iraq.
