"Trust me"
Bush says "Trust me" --
"But, back in 1976, Mr. Carter said, 'Trust me.' And a lot of people did....'Trust me' government asks that we concentrate our hopes and dreams on one man; that we trust him to do what's best for us. My view of government places trust not in one person or one party, but in those values that transcend persons and parties. The trust is where it belongs -- in the people. The responsibility to live up to that trust is where it belongs, in their elected leaderS" ~~ Ronald Reagan, accepting the Republican nomination for President, July 17, 1980

I posted a comment here yesterday that was incorrect. I said that W's approval rating had held steady at 40% for 6 weeks after the Roberts nomination and was not changed by the Meirs nomination. Yesterday NBC released a new poll showning his approval has fallen to 39%. So 2 weeks after Meirs he has fallen a little bit more.
The real problem seems to get overlooked. That is his approval rating started falling when he made the sharp left turn in Mar. It held at 40% for 6 weeks after Roberts and has now dropped 1% more. Like his father the big government liberal policies gain 2 liberals for every 3 conservatives they chase away. **This is very bad news for the GOP! Remember 1992 when Bush 1 chased all the conservtives out of the GOP and Bill won with only 41%! THe only hope the GOP has for 06 is if bush withdraws Miers and nominates Janice Rogers Brown in her stead. But given how liberal he has become that is not very likely. Bad news.**
I think you overstate your case. I may be wrong but I recall that from Mar to Jul his ratings only fell from 52% to 49%. The plungs was from Jul to Aug; when his approval dropped 20% - from 49% to 40%.
No question Miers has added to the chasing of conservatives from the party.
