Is Bush losing the US public?
Is Bush losing the US public?

Shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, US President George W. Bush declared that fighting terrorism would henceforth be the main mission of his administration.
Despite strong misgivings around the world that Bush’s approach was misconceived and would only make things worse, US public opinion has largely backed the administration through wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. However, if Bush has been out of touch with the world, the weight of domestic public opinion is also starting to shift away from him. The “war on terrorism” and the war in Iraq may actually be electoral liabilities with a public that is ready to embrace a positive agenda focused on its own growing needs.

1. No, obviously neither Bunnypants nor Arnold are losing anything
"a public that is ready to embrace a positive agenda focused on its own growing needs."

The above is wishful thinking. California is a microcosm of the rest of the country, and most Californians don't even know what the above phrase means. In fact, I'm not sure I do either. What is "growing needs"? Gardners, bulging waistlines, need for HGH, what?
