Surprise, Surprise

I've seen George W. Bush described as "our worst president ever" or as "our worst post-war president." Imagine my surprise to read this in the website of Public Policy Polling. It says:
Americans are now pretty evenly divided about whether they would rather have Barack Obama or George W. Bush in the White House.
The article by the Democratic polling organization concludes:
These numbers suggest some peril for Democrats in making Bush a focus of their messaging this fall. A lot of folks who contributed to the former President's low level of popularity now like Obama even less. (emphasis added)
Imagine how polling dead even with "the worst president ever" must feel. I'll bet that hurts.
