Also suggesting that Bush has hidden strength is that even with all the bad news, the USA TODAY poll shows that six of 10 Americans — 59% — still approve of the overall job Bush is doing. A reminder: No president with a job approval at 50% or above has ever been denied re-election. Even on Iraq, with all the chaos and uncertainty there, Bush's approval is still a respectable 57% but down from a high of 76% in late April when the war looked like a clear victory. And Americans overwhelmingly still trust Republicans over Democrats to manage the war against terrorism, 55% to 29%. Clearly, the sore spots for Bush are the economy and domestic issues, where the Democrats get higher marks. Bush's approval on handling the economy is at an anemic 45%. But GOP confidence expressed here is not all bravado. The party base is united, well financed and energized to work to re-elect its president. And enthusiasm easily trumps pessimism. "Bush is strong as garlic in the South," said Alabama GOP Chairman Martin Connors. usatoday.com Posted 7/28/2003 12:01 PM
