Unless this economy turns around, the Republican's will loose both the White House and the Senate in 2004.

Polls show the public doesn't blame Bush for the economy. Before he was even elected he warned the people it was comming.
Actually, it will be on the upswing in early 2004 without the tax relief. Tax relief would speed it up a little.
I think the voters aren't swayed that easily. You take liberal spin too seriously. The majority of Americans lean conservative to begin with. This one issue won't cause a great loss.

While I personally would vote for Bush over any democrat candidate, I fear that a significant number of voters cast their ballots with their billfold rather than their beliefs. That is perhaps the largest factor of the Clinton re-election of 1996.

We shouldn't over-estimate the impact of the economy on the voting public, but we certainly can't dismiss it either.

This is a fact that is FAR too often overlooked by both sides of the aisle. Kudos for bringing it up.
