From Jack Kelly of Post-Gazette and The Blade of Toledo, Ohio:
You’ve got to hand it to President Bush. For a pretty decent, straightforward guy, he sure has a knack for making enemies.
The economy is booming. There has been no successful terrorist attack in the United States since Sept. 11, 2001. Al-Qaida officials acknowledge we’re winning the war in Iraq. Yet in the history of polling, only three presidents have had job approval ratings as low or lower than President Bush does now.

- Independents are unhappy with (the apparent lack of) progress in the war in Iraq and the price of gasoline.
- Republicans are upset about illegal immigration, and runaway government spending.
