Bushs first year shown solid gains in war on terrorism
President Bush earns high favorability by year end for decisive leadership in Afghanistan and global diplomacy with Russia. His team, including secretary of defense and secretary of state, made sound strategic moves and executed them well. Domestic agenda saw education reform pass, energy and social security efforts lagged, tax cuts cited as stabilizing, while environmental actions grew. Critics note detainee disclosure issues and political battles, but impressions remain that he is a capable leader amid a tough year.
