Thought I would throw this out there: a map of Bush's latest approval ratings (admittedly about 6 months old now) from SUSA, adjusted for national eqilibrium:
Basically, no changes. It could be a unique Bush map though - perhaps it will change radically with new candidates. Anyway, discuss.
I think that this is about right. Looking at the map, Bush`s polls must not be as bad as people say that they are.
That map is Bush's poll numbers adjusted for the national average. Bush is actually polling at about 35%.
What would a map look like with a 35% job approval rating then?
Bush's approval rating in November 2006 (last available for all 50 states), unadjusted. Wyoming approves 49-48, Idaho 55-43, and Utah 55-42. Everyone else disapproves, New York the most (24-74).
It actually looks a lot like a Presidential map with a massive swing to the Democrats.
