The more Obama bashes Bush, the more popular Bush becomes

Bashing President Bush worked well for Barack Obama during the presidential campaign. Now that he’s president, bashing his predecessor seems to be having the opposite effect.

Perhaps the greatest measure of Obama’s declining support is that just 50% of voters now say they prefer having him as President to George W. Bush, with 44% saying they’d rather have his predecessor. Given the horrendous approval ratings Bush showed during his final term that’s somewhat of a surprise and an indication that voters are increasingly placing the blame on Obama for the country’s difficulties instead of giving him space because of the tough situation he inherited. …

It looks like the democrats are running out of cards. The Bush card won’t work next year, what’ll they be left with? Oh yeah – they still have the handy race card which has no expiration date.
