Describe someone who strongly approved of George H. W. Bush in January 1993

[Blow by blow, the passion dies]

Military veterans and probably many suburban people.

A Republican who didn’t believe in the Laffer Curve. My grandfather comes to mind.

His approval ratings actually recovered after he lost...rising to 56% when he left office. So those strongly approving probably weren't that uncommon.

[ReaganLimbaugh]

Elitist Yankee WASP.

[wnwnwn]

Colin Powell?

I think his approval ratings rebounded after he lost the election. So, I'm sure he had plenty of good will from people who were appreciative of his service to the country. He certainly wasn't a bad guy so not hard to wish him well while he's on his way out.

Evangelicals? He spent the whole election pandering to them, even more overtly than his son in 2004.

It really backfired, what with letting Patrick Buchanan speak at the convention and all...

Didn't he leave office very well liked?  Barbara Bush was still popular too when they left.

The 1992 election is so weird lol.  In a way the Bill Clinton campaign was very sleazy - it blamed Bush for raising taxes, then when it got into office it raised taxes too.

The Clinton campaign's argument was, "Bush says you can't trust me, but he can't be trusted on taxes. I'm being honest about my plan to raise taxes, unlike Bush."
