I don't know where Pres. Bush would be without so many dissenters in the country setting the bar for him. A new poll came out recently:
Jan. 17, 2005 — President Bush approaches his second inauguration with a comparatively weak job approval rating, subdued expectations for his performance in office and the daunting challenge of a single issue with the potential to make or break his second term: Iraq.
Oh no! The public is not completely approving of the Pres. policies! Whatever should we do?
I am extremely glad that our President doesn't seem to be swayed by opinion polls. This last election is a testatment to that. He ran the election on his core beliefs without sliding to the center, as many believe an incumbent should do. The people who care most about polls is the media and the left, and they will probably use them to bash the Bush administration as much as possible. As many have been saying, we can expect there to be many "scandals" and "revelations" about impropriety in the administration, all directed at swaying public opinion away from the Republicans. I doubt there will be a concerted, organized attempt to discredit Pres. Bush. But there is no doubt in my mind that those who dislike him will do anything to disparge his name. Polls to them are a measure of their success. This is going to be a politically ugly four years. I just wish we could all get along.
