Bush Approval at 80%

Among Republicans, I might clarify. This polling report is from Rasmussen, and Mark Noonan explains why:

This would be the source of the President's continuing strength vis
a vis Senate Republicans - the fact that the GOP base understands that victory
in Iraq is more important than the knee-shaking worries of a few GOP Senators up
for re-election in 2008...Courage is rewarded, always - and the President has
shown remarkable courage; the sort of political courage not seen in an American
President since Lincoln faced down his critics in the summer of 1864.

Its a good lesson in sticking with your principles. Democrats, though they have some good ideas, jump around on the issues so much, like they were for the war before being against it. Its very difficult for voters to see what they're actually for, if anything.

Even more good news, read this from FoxNews-"President Bush shocked Capitol Hill staffers and Republican leaders Monday when he crashed a meeting at the White House to deliver a blunt message that he wasn't backing down on Iraq and Republicans need to understand that."
