Wow. That's one craptacular approval rating.

I've said it a few times, but the reluctance of the media to seize on what is the clear narrative of the election right now - the incumbent Bush is in serious trouble - amazes me. I'm not sure if it would be a good or bad thing for the Kerry campaign if they did, but nonetheless when a sitting president consistently polls below 50%, and is generally behind in national popular and electoral vote analyses, the failure of the media to start up the "Is Bush Going to Be a One Termer?" mantra is truly strange.
