What Were Bush's Approval Number Last November?
Does anyone recall what Bush's approval rating was immediately before last November's election? A good close rounded approximation will do nicely. I'm thinking it was up around 60% or so.

Unsure 3%
Approve minus Disapprove -19

2. Under 50. Making "re-election" very unlikely.
Unlikely is not in Rove's vocabulary.

5. Around 50
Job approval and personal approval were both between 45-50. It would have been where we're at now with an honest media. The numbers we have now can flip back very quickly depending on the media whores.
