Would disenchanted Repub voters most likely vote if :
Bush's poll numbers are extremely low?
Or if his poll numbers are about 50% or higher?
Why?
Is there a psychological reason for casting votes? Would a person cast a vote if they thought it really didn't matter moreso than if they thought their vote might keep their Party in power?
Will Repubs get more votes with low approval numbers than they would with higher poll numbers?

3. Will Repubs get more votes with low approval numbers? Watch them try to
steal the election in November with NEGATIVE approval numbers.

4. People who think the election is lost don't turn out
A lot of them will just stay home grumbling that no one can blame this mess on them anymore.
