Bush Viewed More Favorably Than Romney
Dallas Morning News: "For all the talk about whether Mitt Romney should distance himself from George W. Bush -- and the policies of the last GOP White House -- a new survey shows that the former president actually has better favorability ratings than the Republican nominee."
The most recent Bloomberg poll shows Bush with a 46% to 49% favorable rating as compared to Romney's 43% to 50%.

(26,501 posts)wash his horrendous reign. Not to mention that the press never turned on him like they did on Jr. There's 24 years of revision vs. 4 of recent events. So there is a difference. St. Ronnie left with relatively low ratings in 88 but jr's were truly abysmal.
