This certainly does resemble a case of "like father, like son".

Unless the market begins to turn itself around, Bush's popularity is going to keep dropping like a rock. Of course, most people think that the Dow average is the be-all and end-all of the American economy, which it isn't. It is, at best, a leading economic indicator when the market is functioning normally, which it isn't right now--too much concern over possibly shady accounting practices at large companies is focusing too much attention on the stock averages. Anyway....

I, also, predict dramatic losses for Republicans in the upcoming elections, both 2002 and 2004. Thier stigma of being cronies with Big Business will give them a black eye; however, I don't see the Democrats cleaning up, either, but I could be wrong. I see more Independents getting elected, especially since this is a non-Presidential year.

I wonder what stunt he may try to pull to bolster his falling number? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/dontknowaboutyou.gif[/img]
