Watching The Tide Turn

But why does it take so damn long?

Most Americans now think Bush is a failure and they will not vote for candidates associated with him. From Bloomberg:

Fifty-two percent of adults said Bush's administration since 2001 has been a failure, down from 55 percent in October. Fifty- eight percent described his second term as a failure. At the same point in former President Bill Clinton's presidency, 70 percent of those surveyed by Gallup said they considered it a success and 20 percent a failure.

In a poll conducted in January of 2002, after Bush was president for one year, 83 percent of those surveyed said his presidency was a success.

In the new poll, conducted Jan. 20-22, fifty-one percent of those surveyed said they would be more likely to vote for congressional candidates who do not support Bush's policies.

Meanwhile, Aaron Brown, a former CNN news anchor says:

Truth no longer matters in the context of politics and, sadly, in the context of cable news.
