Poll Shows Bush Would Lose to Democrat in Election

History repeats itself...war and a bad economy are trademarks of losers. Ask his dad.

-Z,
Good article.

Fortunately the constitution will not let the democrats run a candidate to be named later against Bush. Even though they pulled off the NJ switch? I thought I read in the same survey that when any current dem candidate was named, Bush would defeat them but I can't find it.

I think it's time for conservative democrats to come to the rescue of the two party system.

Not what I expected, at all...

Bush is taking a strong leadership role in an unpopular war.

This is precisely the reason you can't run the country on polls like the predecessor administration. Sometimes, strong leaders have to take unpopular positions.

Whenever I point this out to someone, I try to always suggest they read (or re-read, as the case may be) "Profiles in Courage", the authoritative treatise on strong leaders and unpopular issues.

Not surprising at all........his popularity is plummenting, particularly in the larger cities. The LA times did a poll where his overall approval rating is well below the national rate.

And its not just the war and his foreign diplomacy failures that are the deciding factors; its his tax cuts favoring his friends and the economy in a freefall that have people really in a rant.

Lets face it.........on many fronts, he just doesn't measure up.
