<<This high approval rating is what I simply don't understand. Where is it coming from? Certainly not from my circle of acquaintances, which I consider to be pretty mainstream.>>

Perhaps regional differences could account for it. Where I live and work, opinions seem to be even more favorable to the President than the polls indicate.

<<Are investors totally out of synch with the great majority of Americans, or are the surveys flawed?>>

I think it's a safe bet that investors statistically tend toward the conservative side. As for the surveys being flawed, bear in mind that they were apparently confirmed by the fact that the Republicans lost seats in the recent election, when they were expecting to gain seats.

In any case, the market certainly doesn't seem to be worried about the outcome. I think Bob is right in saying that investors don't think that a President Gore will affect the markets one way or the other.
