Following the election of 1888, President Booth had gained large popularity across the United States, especially in the southern and midwestern United States. Booth had a 39.9% popularity in the New England region of the United States, which includes the "battleground states" of Pennsylvania and New York. The western states of Oregon and Washington were also very skeptical of Booth's plan, but had a 56.8% popularity in the western states, which he had hope would be easy to gain in the 1892 election. However, Booth's national approval rating was 35.6%, which was lowest since he was inaugurated, which was at 67.9% of the population.

abstract
| - Following the election of 1888, President Booth had gained large popularity across the United States, especially in the southern and midwestern United States. Booth had a 39.9% popularity in the New England region of the United States, which includes the "battleground states" of Pennsylvania and New York. The western states of Oregon and Washington were also very skeptical of Booth's plan, but had a 56.8% popularity in the western states, which he had hope would be easy to gain in the 1892 election. However, Booth's national approval rating was 35.6%, which was lowest since he was inaugurated, which was at 67.9% of the population. He needed a war to get his popularity over 50% and thus moved the USS Aroostook from Puget Sound in Washington to the coast of Russian America. However, when the mysterious explosion sunk the Aroostook an entire nation cried for war. Booth, seeing this as a way to boost his popularity, pressures Congress into declaring war against the Russian Empire.
