    ... what would Reagan have to do to get a substantial body of the
    American people disillusioned with him?  ... tell me ANYTHING
    remotely within the realm of possibility that Reagan could do to
    cause the public to lose faith in him.

  How about high inflation, high unemployment, and high interest
rates, like in the Carter years?  I know this is mostly not under the
president's control, but I am not sure that the general public reasons
this way.  The economy is in much better shape now, and that's all
most people care about.
  Another reason is attitude.  Reagan is identified with "morning
again in America" which people like to hear.  Carter was "malaise",
which nobody wanted to hear.
                                                              ...Keith
