Polling, America still loves him

The headline from the new WaPo/ABC poll is that that people don't blame Obama for the economic problems, and they broadly approve of his performance so far, but this jumped at me,

The percentage of Americans in the new poll who said the country is on the right track still stands at just 42 percent, but that is the highest percentage saying so in five years.

The right track number was under 42% for 5 years? I'd forgotten.

George Bush's complete disappearance has been the best decision he's ever made. (Roughly 70% blame the Bush administration on the economy, yet, within the populist outrage, his name doesn't get mentioned much anymore.)
