LOS ANGELES, July 26 (UPI) -- Campaigning Democrats hoping to make political capital by blaming George W. Bush for the nation's weak economy may find it harder to do, a new poll says.
While Bush's standing among the electorate remains weak, a Gallup poll last week found his personal favorability rating was up 10 points from a 2009 poll, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday.
At 45 percent, it was just seven points behind President Obama's flagging numbers, bringing into question whether attacking the Bush legacy would be an effective campaign ploy for Democratic candidates in the upcoming mid-term elections, the newspaper said.
