"First, his job approval ratings have been trending down for many months, a trend that has accelerated in recent weeks as the war on terrorism has been supplanted in the public's mind by corporate scandals, stock market declines, and a growing sense of economic insecurity"
- Thomas E. Mann
About this Quote
This quote by Thomas E. Mann is describing the existing state of the President's job approval ratings. It appears that the President's scores have actually been declining for a long time, but have been dropping a lot more quickly in recent weeks. This is likely due to the general public's focus moving away from the war on terrorism and towards corporate scandals, stock exchange decreases, and a growing sense of financial insecurity. This shift in focus has most likely triggered the President's approval rankings to suffer, as the public is now more worried with financial concerns than with the war on terrorism.
