America's Most Pressing Issues

Election 2002 begins as a muddle, President George W. Bush is riding high. His approval ratings top 80 percent . yet, even GOP pundits question if his popularity can help Republican candidates in this midterm election.

Congressional Democrats seem unsure of themselves. The bi-partisanship evident after September 11has vanished. Their economic stimulus package is caught in an eddy of conflicting financial news.

Can Election 2002 get any more complicated?

Yes, it can. Redrawn districts, Enron's collapse, an expanding war against terrorism and a long recession--all create cross currents in the electorate.

With those currents shifting daily, politicians sail into dangerous waters. A keen sense of direction and clearly charted course is a plus.
