Bush was punished for the Iraq War – but only after it had begun to sour and the public re-evaluated its earlier support for the action, notes presidential scholar Barbara Perry, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia's Miller Center. The payback came in the 2006 midterm elections, when Democrats took control of both the House and Senate.
