One bright spot for Bush is that the voters see no strong leadership coming from the Democrats. Although the Post-ABC poll showed that the Democratic Party is rated higher than the GOP, there is no visible leader to compete with Bush. With former vice president Al Gore on the sidelines, only Senate Majority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.) has developed much of a profile with voters. washingtonpost.com

Interesting, especially this: "Pollster John Zogby, who conducted a recent survey that gave Mr. Bush a negative job performance rating of 51 percent, said that the White House has adopted a "curious strategy." He described it as a too-conservative approach that included a massive tax cut and an energy plan that relied on increased oil and gas production. "He moved to consolidate his Republican base rather than build a governing majority during a honeymoon period," Mr. Zogby said. "I think he has actually alienated some voters in the center." Isn't Zogby the pollster whom all the right-wingers on this thread like the best?
