Voters Seek Do-Nothing President
The next president of the United States may be a man who will do the least, says UAB associate professor of communication studies and political pollster Larry Powell, Ph.D. Powell says that with the booming economy, record unemployment, and a stock market that continues to do well, "what voters want out of this election is someone who will leave them alone." Voters fear anyone who would make the good economic times disappear.
Republicans are focusing on what they see as a decline in moral values. But as the election draws near, "swing voters will focus on economic issues, which will benefit Gore and the Democrats, and this will increase the pressure for a president who will keep the system on the current track."
