With President Bush's poll numbers dropping, many of his fellow Republicans are uneasy about the state of the U.S. economy, rising budget deficits, and the U.S. military operation in Iraq.

Some believe his job approval rating, which slid to 52 percent in a recent CNN/USA Today poll, the lowest since before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, is only a temporary setback and will rebound if the economy continues to recover and Iraq stabilizes.

Some Republicans are concerned Bush seems to be spending an inordinate amount of time raising money for his 2004 re-election campaign race, lowering his profile from commander in chief to solicitor in chief and leaving him more open to Democratic assault.

"He is spending too much time raising money. The goal is unbelievably high," said one prominent Republican. Others are starting to complain about the multiple phone calls they are getting seeking contributions.
