Mitt Romney Favorability Lower Than George W. Bush, Poll Finds

The national survey, conducted by Bloomberg News and released Wednesday, found that Bush received a favorable rating of 46 percent, while Romney's favorable rating was 43 percent. Forty-nine percent of respondents gave Bush an unfavorable rating, compared to 50 percent of respondents who gave Romney an unfavorable rating.

46 percent for Bush?

Pathetic and disgusting.

You would think that ought to give the President an insurmountable advantage on the "like to have a beer with him" issue

4. Gross and disgusting.

To favor a war criminal over anything tells me all I need to know about the people that were polled.

Romney is bad...but to favor a war criminal? Sorry sacks of shit.

Course, the people that were polled probably think torture is just fine.
