Poll: Bush more popular than Romney

Via Katrina Trinko, according to a new Bloomberg poll, Mitt Romney has a favorable rating of 43%/50% for -7%, while George W. Bush's sits at 46%/49% for -3%.

Retired politicians and ex-presidents always become more popular as time progresses, but Bush's unfavorable rating has remained stubbornly high, and -3% is still pretty bad for an ex-president.

As for Romney, this is lower than usual (according to TPM's poll tracker, he currently sits around -3%), and it's a rough headline that's getting a lot of play today.
