BUSH’S APPROVAL RATING is steady at 76, and his disapprovals have actually dropped by 2 percent, going from 19 to 17. Apparently the “Bush Knew” campaign isn’t doing very well. (Edward Boyd has a nice tabular display of the relevant figures).

On the other hand, Rod Dreher reports that he’s getting lots of angry emails from conservatives about Bush’s inaction. It better be rope-a-dope, with those stories about the Iraq invasion being off just disinformation. What worries me is that somebody at the White House is looking at these poll numbers and trying to avoid rocking the boat.
