Bush Has Highest Disapproval Ever

President Bush has hit record 69% disapproval in the latest USA Today/Gallup poll, the highest number they've recorded in their history. I'm predicting right now that as the recession worsens, as gas prices continue to climb, as more folks see their home values plummet, as violence continues in Iraq, this number will hit the 70s and maybe keep going.

Bush has not hit his floor. Trust me. And Democrats are gonna spend all of September and October remind voters that Old Man McCain has voted with Bush 89% of the time.

It will not be pretty for old McCain. Here is a chart of Bush's long, hard fall over the past eight years.

According to Gallup, Bush has fallen from a record high of 90% approval just after 9/11 to 28% approval now. That means his support has plummeted 62% during that time, a truly massive and historical collapse. In 2002, when Bush's approval ratings were still in the high 70s, Gore Vidal famously made a prediction:

Gore Vidal: Mark my words. He will leave office the most unpopular president in history.

Vidal was right, when so many others were wrong. And you can see why Mr. Most Unpopular Ever is going to be a weight dragging down not just John McCain, but every Republican in November.
