So, Karl Rove seems to think poll numbers hovering at 30% mean Bush is still well-liked, but Americans are just sour on the war. Who is he trying to kid? Even once-loyal cohorts of Bush's own party are fed up with his inability to get a bloody thing done.
Lee Miringoff of the Marist Poll notes this is something of a reverse of the line the White House gave when President Clinton's poll numbers dipped during the Lewinsky scandal (from today's NY Daily News):
"The notion then was, 'You may not like him, but he's doing a good job.' Now it's, 'He's not doing a good job, but you like him.'"
Which would you prefer, America? A president whom you don't necessarily like but who indubitably gets the job done OR one who's awfully gosh-darn likable, but has failed miserably at every aspect of his job?
