Jon Kyl keeps digging his own political grave. Now he's falling over himself to announce that President Bush is coming to Arizona.

I'm disappointed with CJ Karamargin for this final paragraph in her Daily Star article:

Although Bush did not carry Tucson or Pima County in 2004, he is popular throughout Arizona. He won the state last year with nearly 55 percent of the vote. He won Arizona in 2000 with almost 51 percent.

She fails to mention that, according to SurveyUSA's latest 50-state tracking poll, Bush's approval rating is down to 45% in Arizona and his disapproval number is at a high of 52% in the state.

Particularly interesting in these results: the President's approve number among state Republicans is lower than the disapprove number among state Democrats. Independents disapprove of his job performance by a margin of 62%-35%. Democrats are showing more party unity in their opposition to the President than his own party is showing in their support of him. This is incredible in a state with a historically unified GOP.
