Bush Closes the Gap(Obama Support st 50%,44% Prefer Bush)
Politico ^ | December 9, 2009 | Ben Smith

Perhaps the greatest measure of Obama's declining support is that just 50% of voters now say they prefer having him as President to George W. Bush, with 44% saying they'd rather have his predecessor. Given the horrendous approval ratings Bush showed during his final term that's somewhat of a surprise and an indication that voters are increasingly placing the blame on Obama for the country's difficulties instead of giving him space because of the tough situation he inherited.

Thank you very much for pointing this out to me. I did a search as you suggested and indeed it did display the results as having been posted. I supposed I pasted the title into the field without removing the space up to the text. Thank you again very much for bring it to my attention.

At this point, with 10% unemployement, If 50% of Americans would still rather have the communist crypto-muslim as POTUS over Bush, then it would be hard to conclude anything else than that it’s all over but the shouting for this Republic.

Given the horrendous approval ratings Bush showed during his final term...
...one would almost be forced to conclude that both the Bush decline and the Obama exaltation were engineered by meme-building partisan media shills.

I think all of us have issues finding duplicate articles from time to time. Amazing poll though, huh? I think the bammy tide (not the Bama Tide!) is really collapsing...!
