You know, every time I see one of these polls in which Bush’s approval rating is 35%, 30%, 28%, etc. it pisses me off. Who are these 28%, and what the hell is wrong with them!
I believe Harry Truman’s ratings were in the 20% range in 1952, the last year of his presidency, because of an unpopular but probably necessary war.
Thanks, Ed.
