From the Wall Street Journal:
…so far the only thing that seems to be coming back is nostalgia for George W. Bush. A new CNN poll finds voters still believe Mr. Obama is a better president than Mr. Bush was, but by only 47% to 45%. That’s down from a whopping 23-point margin last year. “Democrats would be wise to think twice before bringing up the name of President Bush on the campaign trail this fall,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
And what are they doing? Running against President Bush. The American people wish they had President Bush and 5% unemployment back – you know, the sort of unemployment Democrats were saying was the worst disaster since Hoover?
Obama is doing the impossible – making Republicans popular.
