Quick flashback to Rove's presentation

Remember that Rove presentation a few months ago? In the leaked strategy presentation, Rove made the following observation (slide 17):

President's Standing Matters

Average House Seats lost by WH Party in Mid-Terms:

Presidential Approval <50% ---------- 41 lost
Presidential Approval 50%-59% ----- 20 lost
Presidential Approval 60%+ ---------- 5 lost

This chart bears watching as Bush's numbers float consistenly lower. Bush is already hovering in the low 60s, with numbers in the mid-50s likely come November. I doubt the Dems could gain 20, but 8-12 is not an unreasonable prediction.
