Once Bush got the Miers' nomination fiasco behind him, most of his base

nothing.

He owes nothing to the other 49% that pay his salary? Interesting.

2/3 of that 49% pay hardly any taxes.





As long as those who elected him in '04 continue to support him, he has
his mandate.

Well then, I guess he doesn't have his mandate, does he? Seems he has
lost some 10% of those who elected him.


Nope. Less than 7%. If you consider the poll's margin of error, it's even
less than that. Then when you take into account that he is now polling all
voting age people, instead of likely voters that he polled in 2004, the
disparity is down to a mere couple of percentage points.
