I’m not saying that the mainstream media has an interest in making it seem like everyone’s pissed off at Bush, but I’d like to see the numbers that make this claim plausible. Actually, before that, I’d like someone to explain to me how exactly you measure “political division.” Is that a term of art?
Andrew Kohut, director of the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. He said the level of political polarization surrounding Bush, the division between Republicans who favor him and Democrats who don’t, exceeds even that for President Clinton (news – web sites) in September 1998 during the impeachment battle.
Then again, why wouldn’t you believe the trustworthy folks over at the Pew Commission?
