Dick Morris notes that President

Dick Morris notes that President Bush’s approval rating has dropped significantly. He attributes this partly to the fact that Bush is using presidential capital in hotly disputed congressional races (as he should be doing). The other main cause, as the charming Mr. Morris expressed it on national television last night, is that Bush is perceived as “a pussy” on Iraq because he’s “dancing” with France and Russia after convincing the country that we need to invade.
During his television appearance, Morris predicted that a Mondale-Wellstone race would be very close. Morris claimed that he didn’t know of any poll results. He said he based his prediction on the fact that Mondale “was never that popular in Minnesota” and is an ancient laborite hack, rather than a populist like Wellstone.
