I'll go with their actual success over their ability to con the electorate.
Well, when the American public was asked this same question in 2004, they decided to put Bush back in the White House.
2004 Election results:
George W. Bush - 62,039,572 votes - 50.73% of the vote
John Kerry - 59,027,115 votes - 48.26% of the vote
Not only does Bush win re-election, but he is the first President to win an election with at least 50% of the popular vote since 1988, 16 years earlier. Republican majorities in The House and Senate also increase, which is unusual for an incumbent President in a re-election year.
GEORGE W BUSH APPROVAL RATING

Which is a better measure of what people think, A Presidential election involving over 100 million people, or little polls involving about a thousand. Sorry, but the most convincing thing a President can ever do in terms winning approval is winning re-election. That will always trump any poll to the end of time!
