Bush now only 2% less unpopular at Nixon when he was forced to resign,

Forty two percent of Americans now "strongly" disapprove of Bush, only 2 per cent better than Nixon's "strongly" dispproval rating of forty forty percent the day he was forced to resign. Cheney's disapproval rate is even worse. It's higher than O.J. Simpson's and has settled at a level second in the United States only to Paris Hilton's.

It's time to worry, dudes. Bush's various stallings and strategems can't be expected to last three more years; the word is that he and his honchos will have to try something really desperate. Nixon was able to step away from the Presidency relatively certain his resignation would solve his problems. Bush and his people know that being forced from power could mean years of prison or worse.

Is it '2 percent less unpopular', or '2 percent more popular'?

I'm no grammartician, but I would choose the second of the two. :dunce:

Actually, when talking about "disapproval" ratings (which are not the mirror images of approval ratings), then "less unpopular" usage is correct. If Bush's approval rating were 2 points higher than Nixon's, you'd say that he's 2% more popular. But since his disapproval rating is 2 points lower than Nixon's, you'd say that he's 2% less unpopular.

If you put any stock in that at all, of course.

My head hurts.
