The Economist has noted.....................

........................................the George H. W. Bush revival.

"Two decades since losing the presidency after a single term, George Bush senior is in fashion.  No living ex-president enjoys higher net approval ratings (although his successor, Bill Clinton, comes close)."

"The problem is structural.  Centrists still fill big jobs in business and the public sector, but control the beating heart of neither party.  Bush-nostalgia is surging in a country stalked by populism.  Missing the 41st president in one thing.  Reviving the America that could elect someone like him, quite another."

Full essay is here.
