They report here Gallup poll findings that George W. Bush is now slightly more popular than Barack H. Obama. Bush's popularity has climbed from a low of 25% to 47% today. Meanwhile, Obama's popularity has dropped to 46% from 63% immediately after his inauguration.
As the article notes, Bush always said that history would treat him more kindly than popular opinion. Who knows, perhaps he was right.
I persist in the belief that Obama has lowered the bar, making Bush look better in comparison. This is good for Bush but bad for our country.
