There is that. However, I think what Georgey's numbers will do also depends on how heavy a spin the media and politicians put on the event. At this point, there's lots more people who aren't as sure about Bush's actions (and those of his administration, let's not forget them in all this) in Iraq et al. as there were even a year ago. If the right spin gets put on a pre-election attack, especially if it's a particularly nasty one, then it might show that Bush and Friends "failed to protect the American people", that in fixing the fence of someone across town, he let the hole in his own backyard fence go unchecked. And if that spin takes hold we'll get the finger pointing and so-and-so didn't divulge the correct information blah blah blah. At this point I think the American populace could pick up on something like that as readily as they would run to lift Bush up on their shoulders and "stand with solidarity and purpose."
