George H.W Bush is the incumbent President who took over after the shocking assassination of Ronald Reagan. While Bush’s approval initially surged following his predecessor’s death, his popularity has since waned largely due to his weak public persuasion. While coming from a wealthy background, Bush’s military experience has garnered him the reputation of a war hero, and he also has an extensive resume, serving as a member of the House, Ambassador to the UN, Chair of the RNC, Director of the CIA, and, for a brief moment, Vice President. He will need to emphasize this, along with his successes in office in order to keep the Reagan coalition alive. Will Bush be able to fend off Mondale and stay in the White House?
