IMHO (where this thread belongs):
Economy stays good: Mr. Bush loses the opportunity to have the lowest approval of all time. Silly ideology and foolish wars alone won’t alienate his core base.
Economy tanks: We have a new winner!!

Yeah, but Pierce is related to George W. Bush. His mom’s maiden name was Pierce. It’s all coming together.
More evidence that Bush is near bedrock: this Washington Post poll, which has typically tracked higher than most, has Bush at a nadir of 33%, while Dick Cheney’s approval rating is 34%. So right now there are people out there who approve of Dick Cheney but disapprove of Bush.
He dipped into the 26-28% range because of the immigration bill. His views on amnesty aren’t too bad, compared to the rest of his mindset and what one would expect. Or, as someone else said…
Look at his disapproval ratings, too. 65% now. Nixon topped out at 66% four days before he resigned. Truman’s all-time record was 67%.
Come on, George, you can do it!
