| Description | An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted May 12-16 illustrates the gap between Bush and the public: 42 percent of those surveyed said the economy has worsened in the past year, the highest-such reading in two years. For the first time in Bush's presidency, a majority says the economy will be in worse shape a year from now, according to the poll. More than 60 percent say Bush hasn't paid enough attention to record gasoline prices, jobs and health care.
"You can't tell the American people, `Happy days are here again,' if they're angry about gas prices and afraid for their jobs,'' says Republican pollster Frank Luntz, who helped devise and sell the "Contract With America'' that helped his party take control of Congress in 1994. ``They won't believe it.'' |
