Polls which support this claim:
CNN/USA Today/Gallup, CBS, Pew, AP-Ipsos,
Now admittedly the CNN and the Pew have new numbers which show 40% but that info wasn't available at the time of my original post. And the new polls still show a 52-55% disapproval rating, which is pretty huge for a sitting president, especially one that was so strongly reelected.

Delay is a key bush player. I didn't mention future indictments, but it's expected that several in the bush whitehouse, possibly including Rove, will be indicted soon.

Sparking Cheney resignation rumors even. So far we're still on the fact train.

Clinton screwed up royally in foreign policy but he did manage to get the deficit situation turned around. In less than 4 years Bush had already undone all the work Clinton did, and he's now spending money at an astonishing rate. He's pouring countless dollars down the rathole of war, he's got a multibillion dollar bill coming for hurricane relief
that he insists he will not raise taxes to pay for even though he's already slashed taxes (no don't worry, you didn't see much if any of those cuts because you're not filthy rich either) to the point where the government cannot possibly afford to pay for itself. Bush said, and I quote "I don't care about the deficit, I care about jobs." This, of course, demonstrated a vacuous stupidity when it comes to understanding how money works - not that this should surprise us given his track record.
Sorry man, but as much as it might pain you Bush is a crappy president who's hurt this country immeasurably. It is not visceral or illogical to dislike him or what he has done to us.
