Well he HAS to be popular, considering he's the only Governor in Texas to be elected 4 consecutive times.. but lets choose to ignore that.
He prevented the passing of a state income tax, helping greatly those that dont own land... mostly the poor... but lets ignore that too.
He prevented the deregulation of the public universities, ensureing low priced higher education (including the very highly esteemed UT/A&M schools)... helping mostly the poor... but lets ignore that too.
During his term Texas became second only to Silicone Valley in IT industries, bringing in billions of high paying jobs... but lets ignore that too.
.. I could go on...
Bush is extreamly popular here in Texas, if it was so bad under him he wouldnt have been elected an unheard of 4 consecutive terms for the Governor, nor elected by the state by a landslide.
