Bush Versus Bush

Between public backlash over the prisoner abuse scandal at Abu Ghraib prison and concern over intelligence failures prior to September 11th, the Bush White House has faced mounting criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike. Now, a new series of public opinion polls show that Bush also boasts less support among Americans than ever before.

We speak with pollsters and strategists about Bush’s decreasing numbers, and what this means for his campaign strategy.

Guests:

Glen Bolger, republican pollster and co-founder of Public Opinion Strategies

John Zogby, president and CEO of Zogby International, a polling and public opinion research firm

Dan Payne, media consultant and strategist. He worked on John Kerry’s senate campaigns and on Michael Dukakis’s presidential campaign.
