Obviously the party in power can do things to boost support, but all other things equal, over time our strong anti-incumbent sentiment works away at all in power parties.

Of course, what we want (presumably) is actual policy. Approval ratings are good only as a means. But that doesn't mean it isn't empirically true that approval ratings decline faster the more power you have.; January 2, 2009 10:12 PM
