Bush approval up to 47%
Washington Post:
President Bush’s approval rating has surged in recent weeks, reversing what had been an extended period of decline, with Americans now expressing renewed optimism about the future of democracy in Iraq, the campaign against terrorism and the U.S. economy, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News Poll.
The shrieking you hear is the sound of disappointed moonbats who thought they had this president on the run. Between now and November, the news isn’t going to get any better for them.
Pace the conventional wisdom, the GOP will at least hold its own, and maybe pick up a few seats, in next year’s mid-terms. The economy is performing well and national security will again — at the insistence of both Democrats and Iranians — play a central role in the campaign. That translates into a Republican lock. Yes, a lock.* You heard it here first, yes? If you want to tell me now that I’m wrong and if I turn out to be wrong, you’ll have gloating rights. (I’ll even put your gloat in a post.) But if I turn out to be right, expect me to serve big slices of humble pie.
*Meaning Republicans suffer no net loss of seats in the House or Senate.
(I’ll concede this as a potentially small hiccup for Republicans, depending on how it plays out. But it doesn’t change my prediction.)
