Most approved of Bush BEFORE 9/11

[Ripsnort]

"Bush comes across as the average American — very warm, very sincere,
                  very friendly. ... It's hard to dislike him," says Jaime Regalado, director of the
                  Pat Brown Institute of Public Affairs at California State University at Los
                  Angeles.

                  Or as Amy Muzzocchi, 35, a computer worker in Rosedale, Md. put it, "He
                  turned out to be a lot better than I thought."

                  But whether Bush can translate that goodwill into political clout to advance his
                  legislative agenda and elect Republicans to Congress in November remains a
                  question mark.

                  Perceptions in Washington that his support is slipping — 90% in September
                  to 77% now — have emboldened Democrats to criticize him and some
                  conservative Republicans to balk at toeing the Bush line on issues such as the
                  Middle East.

"President Bush has done an excellent job in the war on terrorism, but on kitchen table issues such as health care and education, the public trusts Democrats," Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe.

Yep, we want to raid Social Security and feed dog food to our grandparents

The thing is this is a neverending platform for the dumacrats as no matter how well the country is doing, it can always do better and it is their job to point out the shortcomings

I hope the Republicans point out that if Bush doesn't do "an excellent job" with the war on terrorism, there won't be a "kitchen table" to sit around discuss the dumacrat issues ....

So... if all of you agree, you must be right?

I seem to recall him blowing it big time on the Stem-cell issue. That was in the long ago before-time though.

Snack foods aprove of him, because they made him their squeak.
