I think Will Collier hits the nail on the head.
If Bush’s numbers rise with the fall of gas prices, then we’ll know he was right… and based on the last Rassmussen poll that does seem to be the case.
Why Bush’s Numbers Are Down

I think Will Collier hits the nail on the head.
If Bush’s numbers rise with the fall of gas prices, then we’ll know he was right… and based on the last Rassmussen poll that does seem to be the case.
I was under the impression that Bush’s low numbers stemmed from the mess in Iraq, among other things. Doesn’t it seem rather simplistic to attribute his low popularity to gas prices when there is so much else going on in the world right now? Gas prices may be one cause, but I don’t think they are the only cause. Anyway, what are you up to these days, Jay? Do you do this political analyst thing for a living now?
Iraq is a factor, but I don’t think it’s a big one. Pocketbook issues are the only issues that really matter in an election. I can’t think of a single election that’s been decided on foreign policy. What’s interesting is that sure enough, now that gas prices are down, Bush’s numbers have indeed risen.
As for your other question, I do web development for a large insurance company in South Dakota…
