I noticed that today’s Gallup numbers had President Bush inching a speck up to a 34% approval, the highest he’s had in about a year. But what really strikes me is the internals. Democrats and Independents still live in one country while Republicans live in another one entirely. Approval among Dems is at 6%; among Independents 28%; among Republicans, 75%.
Different worlds. And even without Bush it’s where the country is, what Obama faces.
