Here's a great graph of the President's approval ratings. As you can see, other than the peaks after 9-11 and the war in Iraq, the President's numbers have consistently gone done almost every time. The reason: he's done almost nothing positive while in office. So he's going to try to exploit the deaths of those on 9-11 and in Iraq to try and win re-election. I hope we don't let him get away with this.
