When Bush Took Office in 2001 Lose influence Gain influence Republican
As might be expected, people’s opinions about whether they would gain or lose influence under the incoming president were very different eight years ago. Core GOP groups, especially Republicans (60%) and Bush voters (59%) said they would gain influence; by contrast, 47% of Gore voters and nearly as many Democrats (44%) said they would lose influence.
