Bush's Perfect Year

No one in the mass media seems to have noticed it, but Bush managed to get through all of 2007 without getting an approval rating as high as 40% in a major poll.

Almost everyone seems to be noticing that Bush's numbers are finally flatlining (or as conservatives call it, "rebounding"), and the White House is actually predicting that he'll leave office with a 45% approval rating. Yes, that's how high the Bush admin dreams these days.

Thing is, even if he does flatline (forget the rebound) Bush will still have his worst year ever (for the sixth year in a row), because his polls now are a little lower than they were last year.
