I think the thing most likely to get W's numbers up is the least likely thing he will do, govern as a conservative with the average guys' best interest at stake.

If he continues acting like he has been, its over.

They would also go immediately if he announced the closing of the boarders.

This has been so frustrating! We have the House, Senate and WH, and the budget has spiralled out of control, with no end in sight, the POTUS appears to encourage and reward illegal immigration, and he let's the MSM take over the Plame story.

This is just weakness. People are not happy with Bush, and we can't just blame the MSM... people need to see the leader they saw after 9-11, and they aren't seeing him...

Ahhh, we will no doubt get a huge number of "Freepers" condemning the Prez because of their hot-button issues, while they disregard the whole picture. I'll bet that about 100% of the Bush bashers, if presented with the same things the Prez has been presented with, would be curled in a ball in a padded room and drooling. Yet it is so easy to condemn him for not doing 100% of their bidding, 100% of the time, becaus ethey are so freaking amazing in their own minds that they absolutely know much more than the Prez and think they could do a better job. Most of them sound more like Dims than Repubs or Conservatives.

I think you're right: Bush and indeed the entire Republican party ought to start appealing to conservatives in America. Of all races, creeds, religions and sexual orientation. Conservatives appreciate conservative policies.
