What the public thinks of a president is directly related to the issues that effect their daily lives.

The price of gasoline is far far more important to what the nation thinks of President Bush than all the war and anti war put together. There are so few fighting and so many driving.

The price of Gasolline is going to continue to fall. It will initially fall to about 25 or 30 dollars a barrel...That means the retail price of gasoline will be about $1.25 a gallon. It could for a very short time fall to double digits. Then it will rise to about a $1.44 a gallon. That will restore all sorts of consumer confidence just in time for the fall election.

I had thought that the Democrats might gain some seats but not enough to gain control. It could be that the Democrats will lose seats and that could cause a world of grief for the Democrats. Remember that when things are down it is all Bush's fault means that when things are good it is all to Bush's credit.

Rassmussen is still predicting a low Republican turn out. That is evident in the number of Democrats to Republicans polled. But it will not be a low Republican turn out. It will be one of the huge ones. These polls of approval ratings and everything else do not reflect the actual people that are going to vote.

Consider that the Oil Companies are selling their gasoline at below cost. WHY? Because they know the longer they hold a gallon the lower the cost is going to go. The bottom is dropping out of the price of gasoline.

And the the Democrats prospects are falling with it.
