...crucial reason for the large number of people who have been pleasantly surprised by Bush’s performance is the nation’s incredibly low expectation for his administration. Based on his apparent lack of intellectual rigor and extremely narrow victory in the election, the prospect for effective government seemed rather slim. During his campaign, Bush made a number of embarrassing gaffes ranging from the grammatical to the geographical. Therefore these polls, as much as anything, reflect a general level of relief that nothing has happened yet to sever foreign trade or entangle America in a deadly...
