It may have been, Bush's approval rating took a sharp rise after September 11th, but my point was for before September 11th. He didn't do much before then and already looked like a lame duck president. Not a single member of congress after September 11th even read the Patriot Act. Of course his approval rating went down after the war in Iraq because it was an unjustified war to start with for the purpose of profiteering.
