“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Bush polling

Mickey Kaus:
Don't look now--Bush seems to be reviving among the robots. ... See also: RCP's pollpage, where he's 4 out of 4 above 40%...

One of the latest polls in a TIME Magazine poll. It has Bush's approval at 41%, a real bounce, right? Nope. The last TIME poll showed Bush at 42% back in September.

Another poll? Quinnipiac. They have Bush at 40%. Another increase? Nope. The last Quinnipiac poll was back in July. It had Bush at 41%.

Trying to judge Bush momentum with these two polls is a bit ridiculous, mostly due to the amount of time between releases.

There is a little movement elsewhere, and it will be interesting to see if that continues as other polls are released. If so, Republicans will be cheering because their President is a year into his second term and finally solidly above 40%.
