The people gave Bush support after 9/11 but that started to dwindle pretty fast after the war debs were started for Iraq. Prior to 9/11 Bush was looking to be a lame Duck one term president.

Never said there weren't protests. But as a whole his popularity was pretty high.
It all comes down to what Bill Clinton told Bush Sr.: "It's the economy stupid".
And while Bush was President the economy was doing good and unemployment was as low as it can be. Which is why he didn't see his popularity among the general public fall much until the housing market crashed.
Yeah, I get it that you hated him vehemently from day one. You're just like the hard core Republicans who hate Obama
But the facts are the facts. I can't change history and neither can you.
President Obama's administration is crashing and burning because of the economy and he doesn't seem to know what to do about it.
Which is why he pivoted almost immediately to ObamaCare and then floundered a couple of months ago when ObamaCare came out the gate a disaster by trying to pivot to "Immigration Reform".
It ain't gonna work. The President's popularity will come roaring back IF the economy does. And today's huge drop in the stock market after bad reports from the auto industry on new car sales can't help.
As far as Bush goes...you have to remember that your extreme views don't represent the "general public".
If they did then MSNBC would be trouncing FNC in the ratings...instead of the other way around.
