Historians: Bush presidency "a failure...below average" (w/poll)

A poll of 774 history professors commissioned by the Siena College Research Institute spells bad news for Bush's legacy: 82 percent rated his presidency as either as "below average" (24%) or a "failure" (58%). We already knew that, of course, but it's nice to know the pros agree. To give you an idea of how lopsided the voting was:
Two percent judged Bush's performance as "great," 5 percent as "near great" and 11 percent as "average."
That adds up to 18%, which, perhaps not coincidentally, is Dick Cheney's approval rating.
If this story seems familiar, it's because this is only the latest step in the Bush presidency's slow, inevitable road towards the ash heap of history. More after the flip.
