We are just past the halfway mark in the first 100 days of the term of U.S. President George W. Bush. How is he doing? How is he doing it? What is he changing?

The American people think he's doing just fine. Sixty percent of the electorate approves of the way he is handling his job as president.

His style of operation is a complete change from his predecessor. As America's first MBA president, he has installed a businesslike approach to management of the government. He delegates regularly. He is prompt and efficient in meetings. He relishes his free time, going up to the residence before 6 p.m. every evening and taking weekends off.
