Problem is that CBS was not the only poll that had Bush so low in his second term and at the end.
No doubt CBS polls left but this poll we are using on this thread about Pres Bro is CBS too.
As much as we loathe Obama he is not nearly as unpopular yet as Bush became across the board.
It would be nice but I think there are 30% who will always love him...a larger love base than Bush had ...especially after Bush stumbled on amnesty and ired his base.
Here is a link to Bush's aggregate including less biased sources than CBS.
*plus Bush had much shorter to fall....he started out at barely 50%, Bro started at mid 70s...Bush did have 9-11 that skyrocketed him but that was short lived....I think most Dems felt his election was illegitimate(they are crybabies by nature )...we may hate Bro but we don't have that argument however impausible
There is a huge factor you haven't mentioned regarding Bush's "unpopularity," and that is the fact the the leftists in Congress and in the media lied non-stop about him, about Iraq especially, about everything.
They beat him down incessantly and that dropped him in the mushy middle, which, if they had even a clue about the truth about what he was doing, would not have turned on him.
Again, the fact that Obama gets continued media adulation and support, as opposed to the incessant lies and beatings Bush took, and still his popularity has dropped like a rock, is significant.
I believe with an unbiased media, even with the conservative loss of support toward the end, Bush would have stayed well above where Obama is now.
The lies worked.
