Perhaps you are right, Mr. Cordes. But the Washington Post had an interesting article on Saturday that may alter picture a little. They cite polls suggesting that " the public is yearning for a moral compass and virtuous leadership.... While polls have consistently shown President Clinton with a high job approval rating, a majority of Americans say they don't believe he has high moral or ethical standards or is a good role model. However, the country seems split over how important that is. A Washington Post/Harvard University/Kaiser Foundation poll found 50 percent of voters think a president has a greater responsibility than other leaders 'to set a moral tone for the country'. But 48 percent said that as long as the president is doing a good job running the country, it doesn't matter.... A recent Pew Center poll showed that while the public now favors Democrats on issues including education and crime, Republicans have a clear advantage in morality...."
Oh, and GW Bush continues to run about 20 points ahead of Gore.
