Obama Approval Rating Continuing to Drop, GOP Makes Gains in Congressional Ballot

[Soggy in NOLA]

2014

Democrats Keep the Senate and get a small majority in the House.

On what planet?

On planet Sallow... the air's pretty thin.

Generic Congressional Ballot - Rasmussen Reports?

The GOP has now tightened its 6-7 point deficit in the generic congressional ballot to just 2 points. Liberals, you can say Rasmussen is biased, but clearly, there is a significant trend.

Even more important for 2014, Obama's approval rating is at 41.4% now as an average of ALL the polls. In fact, Rasmussen was one of the MOST FRIENDLY polls to Obama, indicating that if anything, the GOP likely already in the lead for the GOP congressional ballot (Rasmussen likely re-calibrated their polling to make it more Democrat-friendly after the 2012 debacle).

In addition, here were the 3 generic congressional ballot polls that were at this point in 2009(Source: RealClearPolitics - Election Other - 2010 Generic Congressional Vote)
Democracy Corps (D) 11/12 - 11/16 875 LV 45 47 Democrats +2
CNN/Opinion Research 11/13 - 11/15 928 RV 43 49 Democrats +6
PPP (D) 11/13 - 11/15 1066 RV 38 46 Democrats +8


The Democrats were LEADING the Generic Congressional Ballot about this time in 2009, and the GOP had one of the biggest Congressional victories since the 1940's.

EDIT: Clearly, the GOP is going to have a very, very strong election in 2014.

Expect the reactionary left and other Obama apologists to
make poor attempts to spin the topic off of the failing of Papa Obamacare.

No doubt it will be more of the usual stuff of gays, women issues and
immigration etc.

Problem is,,
Papa Obama has lost the trust of the American people and
the 'fish rots from the head down'. No one will care what
their opinion is because, no one will trust them.

The reactionary left and Obama apologists are hoping the entire US voting public
has the same attention span as the rest of the die hard left

The trend is strongly going the GOP's way. The horse is out of the barn. Obama is providing the most stark case possible against government and people are seeing Republicans were right. And job losses from the employer mandate will probably start mounting before the 2014 election.

As long as Republicans don't snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by pushing abortion legislation, the GOP should be able to take the senate.

 

[Katzndogz]

Tomorrow articles of impeachment will be filed against Eric Holder.

obama is gonna need an Anacin.

 

[Neotrotsky]

The reactionary left and other Obama apologists
are too lost in the 'land of unicorns' to see the end.

Papa Obama care is getting so bad
"Even Rev. Wright has already started to blame the Jews for it"

 

[rdean]

Because so many people are flocking to join the Republican Party.

 

[Neotrotsky]

No
because the Democrats are losing the independents

I love confident predictions from people batting .000 with their predictions.

Conservatives got 2010 right. 2012 was wrong because the turnout was calibrated incorrectly by nearly every national pollster(pretty much all had a tied race or Romney/Obama barely up). It's safe to say that midterms will (usually) produce demographics far more favorable to the GOP than for Democrats, especially when the sitting President's approval rating was 41%.

Dems got the majority vote for congress but lost on electorals. The people spoke while repigs won on electorals due to gerrymandering.

What reactionary left? Obamacare is a mandate to give business to private corporations. Talking about attention span, Obamacare was originally hatched in a right wing think tank funded by oil billionaires.

the GOP approval is meaningless, (being the left enjoys bragging about it) voters will vote for the GOP candidate just for the sake of stopping obama-care, just like they did in 2010. even if the candidate is a hamster !!!

Beat me to it. The GOP will not win in 2014 but rather will be the beneficiaries of the Democratic party imploding. The Green party may well be the major beneficiary in traditionally Blue states.

Where I implicitly disagree with you is on the assumption that there is some kind of possible fix to Obamacare prior to 2017 that is veto-proof. After 2017 the damage will probably be too great for even a veto-proof majority fix to work. Just certifying every state plan, even blank sheets, as compliant and ending all federal subsidies from 2017 on is about the only game in town.

You guys need to decide what is a drop for Obama....39% or 41%...it keeps fluxuating...and we keep getting threads saying they are the worst poll results EVAH!
