Jinx I think the fundamental problem with this thread is that your question by nature leaves little room for objective fact, coming from both sides of the aisle. Here's one man's attempt.

The economy. Regardless of what is being said, the economy is doing very well (out said of that deficit thingy...). After inheriting a recession, we have one of the strongest economies ever as far as growth and efficency. The jobless rate is below the 30 year average at 5.4%. The Net loss of jobs is not as bad as spinsters make it out to be, the number is actually around 800,000. That number is misleading at the same time, it's not a sign of economic struggle, rather a changing market. Productivity and efficency in the manufactering sector are at record levels, sadly the trends will continue, we'll need less people to do the same jobs of the past. Our GDP has had it's biggest growth ever. Plus at the same time you have high tech weenie's, like my father, who were banking hundreds of thousands of dollars in the 90's under the technology explosion, but now companies are hiring Asian-Indians who will do the same jobs of the past for less then 30,000 dollars a year.

Here's a subjective one. Bush isn't a pollster. Right or wrong (we are clearly divided here, I'm not going to argue it), I personally for the most part feel right, Bushs' conviction for sticking out the tough decisions is a good quality. Being the president is the most lonely job in the whole world, and being a leader doesn't always mean doing what's popular, it's doing what is right for this country. I'm glad Bush realizes this, and isn't constantly swayed by the public opinion and lack of resolve held by a great number Americans.

Also I like how Bush is a God fearing fundie, so sue me.
