Less popular than the president

Rasmussen Reports that

Just 24% of American voters have a favorable opinion of the New York Times. Forty-four percent (44%) have an unfavorable opinion and 31% are not sure. The paper’s ratings are much like a candidate’s and divide sharply along partisan and ideological lines.

Bush?

35% favorable, 61% unfavorable, Rasmussen reported.

Granted, NYT’s net of -20 is better than Bush’s -26 net.

But still, he is the president. He has the 48% of the country that voted for John Kerry predisposed to disliking him.

What’s the New York Times’s excuse?

Maybe President Bush doesn't criticize and attack the Times with the same frequency that the Times does the administration.
