In Today appearance, Matthews overstated Bush's "likeability" among public, "loyal[ty]" among troops

SUMMARY: Appearing on NBC's Today, Chris Matthews suggested that President Bush had personal likeability numbers "going for him" until a recent CBS News poll showed them in decline. In fact, Bush's favorability ratings have been low for some time; they were low when Matthews said in November that "Everybody sort of likes the president, except for the real whack-jobs, maybe on the left."
