Disapproval: In 46 Out of 50 States, Bush's Disapproval Rating Exceeds Approval

Results at Survey USA, where Utah offers him the "best" results (57% approve with 39% disapproval), many states close but tipped to disapproval, and his worst ratings in not just the Northeast (with a disapproval rate at 70% or above) but also Delaware, Illinois, California and - yes, friends - Ohio.

Personally - and with no attempt at sarcasm (no, really!) - I am surprised that he still merits a slight approval tip in as many as four states; it is wholly undeserved IMHO.

Mind you, these were tabulated before the crisis in the Middle East, his bragging about the debt, far worse news from Iraq, his abysmal behavior at the G8, and yesterday's monument (and monumentally hurtful) stupidity with vetoing the expansion of stem cell funding and research.
