Trump vs Bush polls, what's up with that 10% ? [View all]

After Katrina, Bush's poll numbers sunk into the low 3os%. Bottoming out at 25%.
So let's say on average, about 10% of those polled who disapproved of the clusterfuck that was the Bush Administration still approval of this giant burning manure pile in the White House.
What could account for this. Is it racism? Though Bush followed long time racist GOP policies, he tried not to vilify immigrants, Muslims and people of color.
Is it that to admit that the man they voted for and supported is actually a traitorous, incompetent corrupt criminal destroying the country is too hard for them and would reflect how bad their judgement was?
Has a part of America grown more racist and fascist in the last 10 years and having the "Black Guy" in the White House sent people over the edge?
What explains this?
