Like Tony Blair, and for many of the same reasons, George Bush's
popularity has hit a nadir and his Republicans risk losing control of
Congress at mid-term elect-ions in November.
Apart from terrorism and national defence, Democrats sweep the board on
the issues. In a New York Times/CBS poll yesterday, they are held to
have the better policies on education, health care, taxes and
immigration. By 57 per cent to 11 per cent, they are considered more
likely to reduce petrol prices.
