Forty-one percent of respondents said Bush's presidency will be seen as unsuccessful in the long run, while 26 percent said the opposite.
In January, 36 percent said successful and 27 percent said unsuccessful.
Yes, Mr. Bush has had a bad year.
Seven in 10 said they want the next president to offer policies and programs that are different from the Bush administration's.
Only half said they wanted the next president to offer different policies in 2000, at the end of the Clinton presidency. By a 2-1 margin, people said the Bush administration has had a negative impact on politics and the way government works.
Republicans give the president mixed reviews in many of these areas. Almost half of Republicans said Bush's policies have made the deficit worse and just 12 percent say he has improved that situation.
Deep breaths, everybody. It's coming to an end...it's over. It's finally over.
(Of course, in the horror films, that would be the point where Jason comes out of the lake or Freddy pulls your mother through the doorway for one last scare...)
PS: Something tells me one or two of the Republican blogs will be challenging this poll. Bulletins when they happen.
