摘要

The 2002 mid-term elections were an extraordinary success for George Bush. The Republicans have expanded their control of the House of Representatives and even regained the Senate. By the light of history, this was remarkable. During its first term, the party that controls the White House has never won back the Senate, and has lost seats in all but two of the past 34 mid-term elections. Had normal patterns prevailed, the Democrats should have done well, with the economy weak and the stockmarket down over 40% from its high point in March 2000. That they did not has much to do with Mr Bush himself. With his high personal approval ratings-6o% of the population still regard him favourably―he seems to have broken the usual rule for mid-terms: that presidents can harm their party but seldom do much good. In the month before election day, Mr Bush campaigned like a man with his shirt-tail on fire. Breaking with his reputation as a man "above politics", he threw his prestige into the battle. His frenzy of campaign appearances in the final stretch, when he visited 15 states in six days, may well explain the last-minute shift towards the Republicans and could have tipped the balance in several close Senate races.
