Blue Nation

Mon May 15, 2006
Every since 2000, American progressives have been subjected to a
steady stream of red-blue electoral maps.
There are many problems with such maps, but what always irritated me
the most about those maps were how they over-emphasized large, thinly
populated expanses of land.
New York City has more people than Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Montana and
the Dakotas combined, but on the red-blue electoral map of national
counties is shows up as a tiny, dark blue speck compared to a sea of
deep red.
It was the sort of visual aide that any feudal lord would have loved,
since it emphasized land instead of people.
However, the situation has now changed.
The new Survey USA 50-state Bush approval rating shows the depth of
Bush's troubles.

In forty-seven states, Bush has a negative approval rating.
In seventeen states, Bush's disapproval rating doubles his approval
rating.
In fifteen states, his disapproval rating is lower than any
disapproval rating ever achieved by Nixon nationally.
In eight states, his net disapproval is lower than anything Nixon ever
achieved nationally.
In Missouri, Bush is at 29-68.
Missouri.
