Bush's favorability polling has been through the roof ever since September 11, but as I and many have been saying, these numbers don't necessarily mean anything when time comes for his re-election in 2004. At times of crisis, a president's ratings always soar. This doesn't mean that we don't have our work cut out in trying to win against him. But with his re-electability polling hanging at less than 50% there is definitely cause for hope and happiness.
