Running on Repeal

I see, now all the sudden its about being popular, its a popularity contest, but when Bush's numbers were in the toilet, it was because he was brave enough to stand up for what is right!

Bush's numbers were always twice that of Congress.
 
No he wasn't. In fact, at times Congress was more popular than Bush, which is virtually unheard of.
Link it. I remember the serious Bushites constantly pushing polls that showed Congress always lower than Bush and the True Believer Liberals telling us that's because it is "always that way"...

Congress is almost always lower than the president. But Bush managed to break the trend for a short while in early 2007:

BTW - Running on repeal may not be as "deadly" as you think...

55% Favor Repeal

Just before the House of Representatives passed sweeping health care legislation last Sunday, 41% of voters nationwide favored the legislation while 54% were opposed. Now that President Obama has signed the legislation into law, most voters want to see it repealed.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, conducted on the first two nights after the president signed the bill, shows that 55% favor repealing the legislation. Forty-two percent (42%) oppose repeal. Those figures include 46% who Strongly Favor repeal and 35% who Strongly Oppose it.

Obviously both Bush and Congress were polling very weak in 2006-2008, the spike up in January 2007 makes sense given the Dems retook control of Congress at that point and people had hope they might actually help. Of course we must give the Dems credit for managing to push their numbers back down at a rapid rate with their ineptitude.

Who said it would be "deadly?" Certainly not me. I said it may not be as successful as anticipated. We'll see which of these polls is the outlier in the months ahead. My sense is that the trend will be in favor rather than against.
