You lose: Nor has the Court itself fared badly in the public's eye. The Pew Center for the People and the Press has been measuring the Court's approval rating since 1987. In that time, the rating has fluctuated from a low of 65 percent in 1990 to a high of 80 percent in 1994. In January 2001, the Court's favorability rating stood at 68 percent. Three months later, it stood at 72 percent. More interestingly, the Court was viewed favorably by 67 percent of Democrats. The continued high opinion of the Supreme Court is consistent with other surveys that straddle the date of the Court's action. The Gallup Organization, for example, asked people immediately after the decision how much confidence they had in the Court. Forty-nine percent of Americans had either "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence, up slightly from the 47 percent who expressed such confidence the previous June. Both the Pew and Gallup polls suggest that the partisan composition of the support changed somewhat following the Court's action, with Democratic confidence declining and Republican increasing. That shift, however, does not constitute a national legitimacy crisis, any more than conservative disaffection with the Warren Court did during the 1960s. The Court has enjoyed a remarkably stable level of public confidence and trust over a long period of time... wwics.si.edu >>Are you familiar with population growth? I'll bet that George Bush got more votes than George Washington. How much action do you want? The population hadn't changed that much in four years. Besides, as I stated, it's irrelevant - Gore lost what matters. Racking up a landslide in CA didn't help him win TN - they knew the loser too well. Same for neighboring AR - home base of the trailer park tricksters. >>Nifty Constitutional scholar that you are: How many Presidents did not win under the Constitution? Well, I know of at least one Prez who won under what many historians consider an extra-Constitutional political deal - the Presidency in return for the end of Reconstruction and the other side ceding the election. But you wouldn't know that. In this case those Democraps not content with stealing votes wanted to re-write the Consitution on-the-fly - idiots like Newsweek's ubiquitous J. Alter said Gore should get in because of the popular vote. Many other Dems - like Gore manager Daley - said essentially the same thing. >>How many people prefer Bush over Eisenhower, or Truman, or FDR? Who the hell cares? Democraps are under the delusion that Clinton is popular. He was always considered unworthy by a majority. An inferior man. >>and if you looked at the polls, one year before Bush vs. Clinton; Bush would have had a landslide. The election didn't occur one year earlier and there isn't an election today. So who cares? Elections are a snapshot too, obtuse one. Thank you for your illiteracy, jitmah.
