There’s been lots of commentary about Bush’s poor showing in that Wall Street Journal poll the other day. But it was actually stronger than I expected. 39% is in the neighborhood of where he’s been before, and means that the bottom hasn’t dropped out–yet. I thought conservatives and Republicans might tilt more strongly against Miers. Instead, they are split. This isn’t good–it still means that the Miers nomination is a wedge issue in reverse. But it’s not catastrophic. Watch for the bottom to fall out if the Miers fight continues to go badly (prediction: it probably will, until/unless she is withdrawn), or if there are Rove and Libby indictments.
