Let me clarify. President Bush was savaged by the media, his poll numbers were abysmal since he could do absolutely no right. No President in our history has been so publicly savaged. He endured those alligators for eight years. Obama gets his in what, eight months? I’d be laughing.

It took GW 37 months to drop under 50%. Obama 6, lol.
Yes Bush was savaged by the media, which affected his poll numbers. The maddening thing about Bush, however, was that he never attempted to defend himself or fight back against the savage attacks of the Left & its media. He didn't use the resources he had at hand to respond and clarify the facts to the American public. If he had, his poll numbers would not have been so low. Obama, on the other hand has the entire MSM, the Democrat party, and sheer power to manipulate the news and the facts. That his numbers are so low despite all of the help he has certainly speaks volumes.
