It takes a lot more than one day of good news or two days of good news to turn polls around. It doesn't take much bad news to keep the polls down. You keeping getting hit.

Presidents who are low in the polls have a hard time getting Congress to go along with them. He has to persuade the people in Congress to follow his legislative agenda and they're all worried about 2006.

It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.

I don't think anyone thinks we're going to just turn around and just rebound ? those days are over. So far I'm encouraged.

Nothing is more responsible for the good old days than a bad memory.

But these days I never turn on radios, I always turn them off."
