One in four people are maroons.
Look at it this way, it’s twice as good as Congress’ ratings.
Galllup reports that 25% of Americans don’t know where the Pacific Ocean is on a map of the US. No kidding.
So this is as good as it gets.

They just know that they should vote in Novmeber for the cool black guy.
Either that, or a rough night at the bar scene.
And the New York Times complain about Bush’s “low” favorability ratings?
Has GWB ever have ratings this low?
But 90% of them can identify Baraq Husayn ibn Mahomet, thanks to the MSM.
24% is lower than Bush’s approval
