@Kasz:
Ok. I'm not sure I'd trust it being as it's coming from the Pew Foundation - and many of the "factoids" (i.e. people naming their kids George Bush) are not referenced and seem like isolated anecdotes. The fact that they'd isolate Darfur from the rest of Sudan would suggest some cherry picking. Were the other country polls regionalized too. I'll do more research and try to see their methodology. Approval ratings for Bush were lower in 2008.
Every leader gets a great state greeting when traveling abroad, it's just custom.
Thanks for the link though.
