What do Americans think of Bush?

I think that has to be the only question that I've been asked more by Australians than 'do you like living in America?' since we've moved here. It has usually been accompanied by something along the lines of 'do they realise what a ... he is' (insert your own derogatory term here).

I've generally avoided answering, while noting that I'm yet to meet anyone with a positive word to say for their President and his record. I can now just point to a recent Washington Post / ABC poll. You can read the full Washington Post article 'Poll Finds Americans Pessimistic, Want Change War, Economy, Politics Sour Views of Nation's Direction' or just skip straight to the poll results 'Washington Post-ABC News Poll: One Year Out, a Desire for Change'.

To summarise, Bush must be envious of Johnnie's worst approval ratings ...

PS The answer to the other question is yes, we are enjoying living here!
