I don't know yet whether he's turning a corner. He's a pretty resilient fellow, so now I think he gets it. But I think a lot of damage has been done to people's view of government and that's not the greatest thing to have presided over.

But the poll shows that Celine Dion is hotter than hot right now and that the public still loves her song 'My Heart Will Go On.

It's time for symbolic gestures. The president is going to have to do a lot more than a 25-minute flyover.

Republicans are clearly on the ropes. Today it looks good for the Democrats - but the elections are in November.

Today Democrats find themselves in a situation where they don't have truly national leaders. Hillary is an exception but she is also a lightning rod,

The breadth and depth of the Home Depot victory over Lowe's is pretty substantial,

Ninety-three percent said that removing weapons of mass destruction is not a reason for U.S. troops being there. Instead, that initial rationale went by the wayside and, in the minds of 68 of the troops, the real mission became to remove Saddam Hussein.

Our polling shows over 60 percent who say it wasn't worth it, ... Iraq has become Vietnamized.

Pretty much everything was done the wrong way.

She's got name recognition, she has a solid constituency, and she has a targeted women's constituency. As first lady, she started out with being a hero to women working outside the home. During the latter part of the '90s, during the Monica Lewinsky scandal and impeachment, she became a hero to traditional wives. Whether she orchestrated it or not, she got people to admire her.

That and other questions lead to the obvious conclusion that they're not sure they're doing anything positive over there anymore. When it comes to the leadership, there seems to be a disconnect.

It's a hard time to be in government right now. You are going into November with an unusually sizeable number of weakened incumbents. It looks like you have two political parties this year that are hell-bent on losing.

He now leads among independents, and that's because of the lead that he holds among independent women, ... Face the Nation.

We wanted to know how long they think US military should stay there. We did not ask them if they wanted to stay or go home we asked basically how long the US military should stay there.

The results seems to be a matter of memory. We asked people to name the century's best male and female singers and for some their memories didn't extend back more than a decade or a year.

One in four agree that they need to stay there until the mission is done. But the fact of the matter is that the overwhelming majority, meaning the rest, three out of four, say that they don't think the mission can be accomplished.

These days, political ideologies are almost genetic. Plus, we are exposed to political messages meant to provoke a specific emotional reaction, designed to make you want to 'buy' politics, like a car or toothpaste. That comes into play, too.

Tom DeLay may be gone, but he's not forgotten.

Gore has made significant gains since the debate. Voters clearly do not like it when Bradley goes negative,

It's not his finest hour. The buck stops right there with him. The president did not meet a benchmark that he himself set for crisis leadership.

It isn't important until there's a crisis on the radar screen. Otherwise, it's really like an orphan.

He is a resilient political figure -- down but not necessarily out -- but he's got to pitch this one, the Supreme Court nominee, right down the middle.

Those scenes are not going to go away. Bush can recover a bit through damage control but those early impressions could be devastating for him and could hurt his party.

He hurts himself when he tends to go contrary to that maverick image and appears to be crossing into the conservative side, something he's been doing lately on other issues.

This is a wounded president right now. He doesn't have public opinion at his back. He can't ask too much of Congress because they are already worried about their own re-election.
