Springtime of Discontent

The polls are now coming in too strongly to be ignore. Approximately 60% of the public in poll after poll says they are dissatisfied with the way things are and that we are headed in the wrong direction. This is, of course, eating away at the president's job approval rating (below 50% now) and at the electoral contest (Kerry by a nose).

The level of discontent is the suprise -- it is a 180 degree change from last summer. It's starting to look like the person who needs a rally is Bush, not Kerry.
