The Party Of Bush

By The Daily Dish

A reader writes:

Your reader tries some "fuzzy math" to make his case, but the facts are that George W Bush had high approval among conservative Republicans when he left office. According to Gallup, 72% APPROVED of W's job performance as late as December of '08. So for that reader to say "We did not approve" is demonstrably false.

Another notes:

Gallup's party ID poll put Republican identification at 28% in 2008, while Bush's approval rating in December 2008 was...28%!  Coincidence?  I think not.
