Suddenly, He's Vulnerable
Can Bush reverse the slide in his approval ratings?

According to a Mar. 4-6 Ipsos-Reid Poll, Bush is losing ground with crucial swing voters and has all but lost the moderate and conservative Democrats who rallied to his side after the 2001 terrorist attacks. This polarized electorate makes the President potentially vulnerable in 2004.

In the Ipsos-Reid survey, just 38% of voters say they will definitely back Bush for reelection -- down from 54% a year ago. At the same time, the bloc of Americans who contend they'll back anyone but Bush has jumped to 37%, up from 20%. So who's sticking with George W.? His GOP approval ratings are as high as 97%. But that doesn't translate across the political spectrum. According to independent pollster John Zogby, Bush boosters are "the Republican coalition and little more."

Get ready for the swing voter revolt. Think it can't happen? Thats what Newt Gengrich thought in 1998, since the polls showed republicans in the lead.
