Top Democrat says Bush will lose over the economy

December 23, 2002 By admin

The new chairman of the Iowa Democratic Party predicts George Bush will suffer the same fate as his father and be a one-term President. Gordon Fischer says Bush will fall because of the state of the economy. Fischer says one-point-seven million jobs were created the year before Bush took office, but one-and-a-half million jobs have been lost since Bush took office.Fischer says if what he calls “the Bush recession” continues, Bush will be a one-termer. Fischer says the last two presidents provide an interesting contrast in election success.Fischer says at this point in Bill Clinton’s presidency, no one expected him to win reelection — while at this point in the first Bush’s term, he had a 91 percent approval rating and seemed a shoo-in for a second term. Fischer made his comments on Iowa Public Television.
