Research has shown that the perceived style of leadership is by far the most important thing to most voters in evaluating officeholders and candidates.

Many citizens see all the leadership of these large institutions together in a conspiracy against them rather than in any adversary relationship with each other.

The President, the Administration and the campaign need a theme. I am concerned that the President is seen as a tactician without an overall strategy of his plan for the country.
