Seven in 10 voters have a favorable view of Bush, compared with 26 percent who gave him an unfavorable assessment. No Democrat received more than the 50 percent favorable mark given to Bill Clinton, who also received the highest unfavorable review at 45 percent. Al Gore, who beat Bush in California by 12 points in 2000, received a 47 percent favorable standing. My favorite 3 paragraphs

Chat With Bush Makes Opening Ceremony Even More Special for Skater Sasha Cohen AP \| 02.09.02 \| AP ap.tbo.com SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - This is one phone call Sasha Cohen won't ever forget. The figure skater was talking to her mother on her cell phone as President Bush stood among the U.S. athletes at the opening ceremony Friday night. Seeing an opportunity, she passed her phone to Bush and asked if he'd say hello. He took the phone with a smile and obliged. '"This is the president speaking'," Cohen recalled Bush saying. He then spoke to her mother for about a minute. The 17-year-old Cohen said Bush didn't know her name before she introduced herself, but he did know she was a skater. "He asked me about my skating, and where I'm from, and all kinds of things about the Olympics," she said Saturday morning before returning to California to train for the women's competition, which begins Feb. 19. "He was really personable, and great to talk to. It made opening ceremonies an even more exciting experience."
