With the exception of California's new (Democrat inspired/RINO-approved) assinine 'drivers licenses for national border violators'. 11% of new illegal immigrants coming into California from Mexico are NON LATINO, (i.e. not from Mexico, Central or South America). They are from all over the place, knowing of the porous nature. How many of these may be terrorists? What the hell is Dept of Homeland Security doing about this?

2 out of 3 think Rumsfeld is doing a great job; this certainly bodes ill for ninnies like Howard Dean.

These stats show the nine dwarves haven't made much headway with average Americans. To that extent, it's very, very good news for the Bush Administration.
If I had been asked to respond to these questions, I would have answered similarly.

There is a CLEAR overall decline in the support level of President Bush and a CLEAR rise in the opposition level. Just as I thought it would go when thinking back in October 2001 and knowing the short term/impatient national characteristic of Americans.
The dip in support is running at 30% in two years or 15% per annum.
Projecting this trend, if things did not improve in the next year, around the time of the general election debates between Bush and his Democratic Rival (Fall 2004), we would see a Bush support level drop to 52% and an Bush opposed level rise to the mid-40%s. If the undecided swing 'wanted something new' as many impatient, uninformed Americans always do every four years rather than staying the course, that could tighten the race further. Demogoguery by the Dems, with this close of conflicting opinions, could make the election just as close as Bush-Gore. They might rely on hanging chads again to bail their asses out. Don't count the chickens yet.

We are safer from terrorism, but not because of Homeland Security, CIA, FBI, or any other government sponsored effort. We are safer because a singnificant number of (if not all) Americans will no longer go quietly to their deaths.
To: AmericanInTokyo
Projecting past trends to the future is full of speculative assumptions. One of which is that the president has no plan to elevate his approval rating by campaigning as the time gets closer.

....while fighting in the backyard, we left all the doors and windows open in our house.
Open borders with 4000 - 6000 slithering through every 24 hours (these are the ones that "got away") does not a secure country make.

When you run Bush numbers against another candidate rather than against these issues, he does much better. Against Dean he kicks butt.

I'd rather let the sun shine in and go slay the boogy man.

Now suppose Hillary Rodham Clinton were to run for the Democratic nomination for president. Suppose the 2004 election for president were being held today, and you had to choose between Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democrat, and George W. Bush, the Republican. For whom would you vote, Clinton or Bush? |

He can certainly try, but the deck will be stacked against him with these variables, if in place:
further decay of US military position in nation-building exercise in Iraq/continued US media harping and melodrama/American impatience, short-termed vision and only supporting quick, short term dramatic victories, not long-drawn out commitments

The current problems in Iraq will be mostly forgotten by then just as the similar problems and complaints about Afghanistan have been forgotten.
