You mean the fact that it dropped an entire two points? Yes, it's pretty impressive, and definitely shows Bush is destroying America.

That is a big part of it, but look closer at the years.

We use 1989, the year HW Bush was inaugurated.

We use 1993, the year Clinton was inaugurated.

Then we use 2000, the year W. was elected, not the year he was inaugurated.   

So not only do we have the effect exaggerated, but we make it look like the decline occurred entirely under W.


It's a two point decline! Who cares anyway?
