A couple years ago, ~75% "US-favorable" on a survey.
Now down to ~15%

En passant on Lehrer; no dope on "survey" methods. But the overall spot was nothing but Bad News - aimed at Bush + His loudmouthed ones.. leaving a small opening for a larger% "not actually hating 'Americans' generally". Section ended with an unanswered Q ~~ "So then, what might Bush hope to gain by this visit?"

When you're this far down in the polls - any indefinite plus seems.. larger.
