GOP optimism grows as Bush leads in polls for 1992 election
After the Gulf War, President Bush enjoys a 91 percent Gallup approval and Republicans push toward 1992 gains. A Washington Post poll shows GOP ahead of Democrats 47 to 45 in party identification, fueling talks of realignment and Senate gains. Republicans rally to push Bush's domestic agenda while Democrats resist, aiming to portray him as strong on war but weak on domestic policy. The race hinges on what the GOP does for voters lately and avoiding stall tactics before November 1992.
