The Democrats Bad News: The 2004 Race Is Starting Democratic strategists aren’t worried about George W. Bush’s record-setting, three-month run of job-approval ratings above 80 percent. They know such numbers can be evanescent. But they have concluded that, unlike his dad, he is likely to gain lasting political strength from his role as war leader. Bush One’s leadership in the gulf war didn’t help him at the polls in 1992. But Bush Two’s war on terror responds to an attack on home soil, and therefore is far closer to voters’ real concerns, says polltaker Mark Penn, longtime adviser to the Clintons. What’s more, Bush’s surprisingly competent performance, Penn says, undercuts a favorite Democratic attack: that he’s simply not up to the job. msnbc.com
