2000 was a very contentious election. 2004 even more so. Al Gore barely won both times. Now 2008 is approaching. Gore has had successes but also failure. He currently sits at a 45% approval rating
Vice President Gore/Senator John Kerry 303 George W. Bush/Dick Cheney 235Gore’s first term was plagued by 9/11 and a war that began in Afghanistan. He was well liked by most people but so his was ‘04 opponent
President Gore/Vice President Kerry 290Mayor Rudy Giuliani/Senator Elizabeth Dole 248Gore’s second term was going great, big support from congress. However he started having some failures after launching a war in Iraq.
President Gore is term limited. The race has begun to determine his successor.
