I'm not so sure that is the case. The Bush-Bots were making a big deal the other day with a poll that showed that among registered voters, 53% of those polled said they would vote for him today with the rest either saying they would vote for someone else or were undecided. What were they all excited about? It was that Bush's % moved up 2% in the last month. What they didn't want to talk about is that Bush's support is down a net 2% from year-end and 53% is hardly a comfortable lead, especially when Bush benefits from the rally around the flag effect in this war on terrorism.
I think Bush has already lost considerable support from his conservative base from his insane Amnesty/Open Borders policies and his signal that we will sign CFR (among other sellouts). If Bush had widespread conservative support he would be running near 60% given the war. And as Bush exacerbates the illegal immigration crisis in America, more and more conservatives will leave his camp. Moreover, he will lose substantially more support across the board if his lax immigration policies are directly attributable to more terrorist attacks. What scares me is that I have to believe that he knows this.
They're governing like the illegals are holding their families hostage and Mexico has 'THE' bomb.
