74. Bush's popularity is very thin

Thu Jan 7, 2016, 12:46 PM

Jan 2016

It is a forced approval by the right-wingers when comparing him to Obama. They know he was a disaster - broke the economy and the Mideast.
But, the worst of them will swear that Obama screwed up the Iraq situation and that he was in office when the banking crisis destroyed the economy.
Bush is popular in the states that are inevitably going republican anyway, like Utah, Wyoming and the deep south. He wouldn't help in any of the swing states.
