Has it dawned on DUers that Obama and Hillary are getting more blame for

[merrily]

23. True,

but I am guessing FDR's were high after Pearl Harbor--or would have been if they were doing that kind of polling then (no idea if they were or not, probably not).

Bush's approval ratings did not stay that high. Iraq and Katrina were factors, and deservedly so. By around 2007, his ratings were in the 30s overall, IIRC, and even lower among only Democrats. And Cheney's went down to Congressional levels among people from both parties. I think he was around 9 or 11 in one poll.

Obama had no equivalent of 911, but his approval ratings were quite high after his first election and overall, pretty good for a lot of years in office.

But the comment I made was about criticism. Yes, as another poster pointed out, Pelosi took impeachment off the table, but she and other elected Democrats did criticize Bush plenty publicly. As far as people who are not professional politicians, I heard and participated in tons of criticism about Bush (none of which I regret).
