What I find interesting is the complete lack of people choosing the two "My quality of life has improved" options, but the large number of people choosing (like me) the "little or no relationship" option. If I were to guess, I'd say that all of the people in that category have had their situations improve in the last 5 years, they simply aren't attributing it to Bush.

Sounds like classic attribution bias: if something good happens to me, it's because I did it. If something bad happens, someone else must be to blame.
