"There you go again." You should know that line from the 1980 presidential debates. My post refered to voters who regret their votes later. I made NO attempt to equate voting practices with approval ratings. Yet that's what you tried to turn my post into. (Nice swing there guy, but shorten your stride and try a two ounce lighter bat.)

There's a MAJOR difference between A) saying Pres. X did this right but that wrong so a broad population temporarily does not approve of the job he's doing by a 49-51 or 40-60 or 35-65 proportion; and B) saying two to ten years later a full quarter of HIS voting block disgustedly asks itself "HOW could we have been SOOO naive?" Bunches of Nixon's own voters were vehemently repulsed by what he did to their party and to their country fairly soon after he won his second presidential election, and bunches of his voters had actual REGRET over having voted for him. Yes, he still has a ways to go, but Bush is diligently working on matching that. And just as Carter owed his election to Nixon, if Hillary wins in 2008, you will have to thank Bush.

Talk about NOT seeing the pitch when you swing... You'd better head for that pitching machine/batting cage with the 40 mph softballs before you join a co-ed softball league.
