Bush Ratings Show Unprecedented Polarization

Bush Ratings Show Historical Levels of Polarization: "An analysis of Gallup Poll data reveals extreme and unprecedented levels of polarization in George W. Bush’s job approval ratings. Currently, Democrats and Republicans’ evaluations are radically different, with Republicans overwhelmingly positive and Democrats decidedly negative. Also, views among both groups are quite strong, which means they are probably unlikely to change much between now and the election. Never before has Gallup data shown such a high proportion of partisans with such strongly opposing views of a president."
