46. utter hogwash

It is arguable that the first round of tax cuts where at around 50% popularity depending on the poll. But Gore didn't lose on tax cuts or any other issue. Poll, after poll, after poll, after poll showed that people agreed with Gore on the issues but voted for Bush on character. The second round of cuts were never popular and several commentators on both sides (Brooks, Shields, and Gigot for example) wondered aloud why the Democrats didn't fight them harder in the public arena. All three felt the could have stopped them if they had.
