Not Looking Good For The Democrats...

[The T]

Notably, a Fox News poll released Wednesday found that 58 percent of voters had seen signs of economic progress. And a Washington Post/ABC News poll that concluded March 10 found that 49 percent think the economy is beginning to recover, compared with 36 percent in November.

The poll did not include questions about recent conflicts over the Obama administration’s birth-control coverage mandate, including comments by conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh that a young woman was a “slut” and a “prostitute” for supporting the policy in testimony before Congress.

From your cite.

What makes you think CONZ will escape voters wrath?
Wishful thinking? It's not like you've done a lot legislatively, have you.

I would not be surprised if the dems retook the house and widened the gap in the Senate.

It would be nice if there was an actual recovery, but those of us living in reality just dont see it. Numbers boosting at it's best.

There isn't any recovery.

Thre road we're on:

It's only valid when there is a negative story about Democrats. But if it's the GOP, it's a bunch of lies. Dream on, honey.

guess that 13,000 mark on the DOW didnt mean anything, nor is the positive job growth, nor is positive GDP.

yup were all going to hell in a hand basket

They aren't going to lose the senate either.

i think many on the right simply believe that if someone doesnt like what the dems offer they will automatically vote for the GOP. they could simply vote 3rd party or not at all.

I keep asking who they think is going to beat Obama but nobody ever seems to know.

Maybe you should ask that after the primaries are over.


But if you can't wait.......

Mitt Romney......next question.

Romney's biggest problem is going be courting independents. the primary has force Romney to move significantly to the right on many issues. if he wins the nomination, he is going to have to move back to the center to win over many independents. since there will a huge amount of evidence and sound bites regarding his shift to the right, he will look like a huge flip flopper who can be branded as a guy who will say anything to get elected.

who says we dont like a good stock market? when the stock market is strong and well regulated everyone wins. pension plans, 401(k)'s, IRA and Mutual funds do well when the stock market is strong and well regulated. middle america's wealth increases at the same time.

it is when wall street takes unnecessary risks with middle americas money that problems are caused. such as the financial collapse in which wall street ran to the fed to bail them out, and then decided to continue to pay huge bonuses and golden parachutes for risky trading practices.

1. "The Hill Poll: Voter gloom over Obama’s jobs, gas, debt policies

2. Half of likely voters expect the Supreme Court to strike down President Obama’s signature healthcare law, and strong majorities see other major policies coming from the White House making life more difficult for themselves and the country, according to this week’s The Hill Poll.

3. The poll indicated that 49 percent of likely voters said they expect a court ruling that is unfavorable to the Affordable Care Act, while just 29 percent think it will be upheld and 22 percent aren’t sure.

4. On economic issues, 62 percent of voters say Obama’s policies will increase the debt, while 25 percent think they will cut it, and by a 48-percent-to-38-percent margin, voters believe those policies will increase joblessness rather than put people back to work.

5. On energy, 58 percent say Obama’s policies will result in gasoline prices increasing, while just 20 percent expect them to cut prices — and by a 46-percent-to-36-percent margin, voters believe they will cause the United States to become even more dependent on foreign oil.

6. Voters’ wide-ranging pessimism comes as gasoline prices have risen sharply, which often dampens attitudes among U.S. voters toward those in power,...

7. ...a Fox News poll released Wednesday found that 58 percent of voters had seen signs of economic progress. And a Washington Post/ABC News poll that concluded March 10 found that 49 percent think the economy is beginning to recover, compared with 36 percent in November.

8. On every question, a majority or plurality of white voters said they expected Obama’s policies to fail — while a majority or plurality of black voters expect them to succeed.

9. There also is a slight gender gap between men and women, although both concluded that most of Obama’s policies would be counterproductive.

10. Sixty-nine percent of independents predicted the federal debt would increase as a result of Obama’s presidency, and 61 percent predicted an increase in gas prices."
The Hill Poll: Voter gloom over Obama


An aside....I believe that if the Supreme Court finds against ObamaCare...this would actually increase the President's chances, as it reduces the immediacy of voting against him...

....but he'll still lose.

Obama will be in office until 2016. The Dems should lose the Senate though.

They aren't going to lose the senate either.

I expect there to be 51-53 Republicans in the Senate this time next year.

Too many Democratic seats in play, too many Dems retiring. If the GOP doesn't re-take the Senate; they should disband given that and the lame field they put up for President this year. If Rubio, Ryan, and other young Republicans are smart, they'll seek to pull a Slick Willie and re-make themselves in 2016. They probably should anyway.
