Bush was one of the few presidents not to be re-elected following his initial term. Though the Persian Gulf war under him was literally three days, the quagmire that would become the Iraq war under his son, George W. was started by him which seemed to transfer to him losing ballot votes come the next election, along with his promise not to raise taxes, which he was unable to keep He didn’t seem to be able to transfer that enthusiasm Reagan aroused in the general public (and which he was a part of as Vice President) to his own presidency.
Despite of this the conservative community still holds him in high regard.
