George W Bush continues to plumb sub-Nixonian popularity ratings, more than three-quarters of Americans think that their country is on the wrong track, the Republican brand is in the dumpster and voters have been surging to register as Democrats.

The senator from Arizona also sounds self-satisfied about the state of the American economy when most of its voters are the opposite of content."
