“Bush wins in a landslide on leadership (that’s probably an exaggeration) but he’s in big trouble on right track/wrong track. Huge numbers of Americans say we’re on the wrong track, and the figure doesn’t seem to budge (actually, I think it improved a bit in July, maybe).”

If a pollster were to call me up today and ask me if I thought we were on the right or wrong track, my answer would be wrong track–but not because of Bush. I’m fed up with the culture war, the MSM’s blatant bias, the Democratic Party’s sacrifice of country for power, the exaltation of victimhood over responsibility, the growing demonization of religion, the growing acceptibility that it’s okay to lie and cheat and steal as long as you can justify it in your own mind, the disaster that is our public education system, and on and on. Heck, even the fact there’s nothing on TV any more but reality shows.

So I’m not sure that “wrong track” necessarily correlates to a vote against Bush. Because I’d say wrong track and yet no power on earth is going to get me to vote for Kerry.
