It's only because half the Democrats went along with him.

The latest Washington Post-ABC News survey shows that 65 percent of
Americans disapprove of Bush's job performance, matching his all-time
low.
In polls conducted by The Post or Gallup going back to 1938, only
twice has a president exceeded that level of public animosity -- Harry
S. Truman, who hit 67 percent during the Korean War, and Richard M.
Nixon, who hit 66 percent four days before resigning.
The historic depth of Bush's public standing has whipsawed his White
House, sapped his clout, drained his advisers, encouraged his enemies
and jeopardized his legacy. Around the White House, aides make gallows-
humor jokes about how they can alienate their remaining supporters --
at least those aides not heading for the door. Outside the White
House, many former aides privately express anger and bitterness at
their erstwhile colleagues, Bush and the fate of his presidency.
