The folks at the Plum Line look at a CNN article on their CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, and tease out this bit of information:

Another factor that may be boosting Obama's overall rating is the inevitable comparison with the man he replaced in the Oval Office. Fifty-seven percent say Obama has been a better president than George W. Bush; only a third say Bush's track record was better.

On the depressing side, however is the knowledge that ¹/₃ of the country are either complete morons, completely insane, or both.
