Nearly 30 years after Jimmy Carter was defeated by the early neocon movement led by Ronald Reagan, his approval numbers are somewhere in the 64% range. When he left office he was at 34%. Similarly, George H.W. Bush (Bush 41) left office in 1993 with a 34% approval rating; now he's viewed by 60% of the American public as positive.
That was way before the advent of the Internet.
Hopes in the Bush 43 camp are high that 20-30 years from now, he'll receive a similarly favorable rating, which would be better than the 27% he "enjoys" right now.
Fat chance. So fat that it should be on "Biggest Loser."
