http://pollingreport.com/wh08gen.htmLook at current polls conducted on this question of who you will vote for? Then look at some older polls. You will see the democratic candidates almost always gaining ground over the republican candidate. My take is that the Republican hopeful in this election will be happier if GW just left the WH because the more time he spends in power the more ground they will lose. I feel the way people like Brownback are coming out against the president's plans for increased troops shows he wants him out of the WH purely for political purposes.
Look at the other question Newsweek asked:
"At this point in time, do you personally wish that George W. Bush's presidency was over, or don't you feel this way?"
Wish it was over: 58%
Don't feel this way: 37%
Unsure: 5%
