Bottoming Out

Gee I wonder how we can expalin this:

Bush Success Rating at Historic Low

President Bush's success rating in the Democratic-controlled House has fallen this year to a half-century low, and he prevailed on only 14 percent of the 76 roll call votes on which he took a clear position.

Hmm could it be because he's utterly and hopelessly out of touch with the people of the United States and utterly and completely in the pockets of corporations. Just a wild guess.
