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.

A lot of that was his own fault for not going to the mat to defend his policies.

Even Karl Rove now admits that.
