Quite frankly, as the public got to know Bush, his character and his job performance, the majority opinion of Bush is closer to Host's than yours, perhaps for different reasons..or perhaps because they agree that he is a lying incompetent
Follow the trend:
Favorable (positive) or unfavorable (negative) opinion of Bush from first SOTU to last
NBC/Wall Street Journal
Jan 01 - 50% positive, 30% negative
Jan 04 - 55% positive, 37% negative
Jan 08 - 32% positive, 57% negative
Pew Research
Jan 01 - 60% favorable, 33% unfavorable
Jan 04 - 53% favorable, 46% unfavorable
Jan 08 - 36% favorable, 60% unfavorable
Fox News
Jan 01 - 58% favorable, 31%`unfavorable
Jan 04 - 54% favorable, 39% unfavorable
Dec 07 - 39% favorable, 56% unfavorable
Job performance rating - approve or disapprove of Bush's job performance after first term and today
NBC/Wall Street Journal
Jan 05 - 50% approve, 44% disapprove
Jan 08 - 31% approval, 63% disapprove
LA Times/Bloomberg
Jan 05 - 50% approve, 47% disapprove
Jan 08 - 34% approve, 62% disapprove
Gallup
Jan 05 - 52% approve, 42% disapprove
Jan 08 - 34% approve, 60% disapprove
Pew Research
Jan 05 - 50% approve, 43% disapprove
Jan 08 - 31% approve, 59% disapprove
ABC/Washington Post
Jan 05 - 52% approve, 46% disapprove
Jan 08 - 32% approve, 66% disapprove
That puts him right there with the public's opinon of Nixon in his last year in office, below Carter, and well below Reagan and Clinton (both of whom left office with ratings in the 60%+ range).
Having listened, I was checking off the lies or misrepresentations on my fingers...and toes...and needed more.
