Well then, it's worse than I thought. Over the past 4 days, Obama has suffered A TEN POINT DROP in his approval rating.
Hello? His approval rating is 37%

I guess rightwinger must have missed your reply TK,

In that same WSJ poll, Democrats have a 36% approval rating like that's something to brag about. In this poll here, both Harry Reid and John Boehner have 18% approval ratings! very telling to say the least.

I am actually surprised the Democrats don't have a noticeably more favorable standing in these polls than they currently do. The problem is, what do the Republicans stand for? Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul and some others felt this was their time to start making demands, but instead the establishment republicans attacked fellow republicans just as bad as the Democrats do. Who wants to support a party where the larger portion of that party is equally to blame as the Democrats. The old establishment Republican guard just refuses to fight and wants to surrender. What ideas has the establishment come up with? None!
Then of course, the Democrats have a compliant media on their knees and in front of their zippers to help. But, in spite of that, if the majority of the Republican Party, which is the old establishment guard had any ideas outside of give the Democrats everything they want and not a thing more, I believe these polls would be heavily in favor of the Republicans.
Over 4 million Republican voters stayed home and didn't think Mitt Romney was worth voting for, too much part of the Karl Rove establishment wing.
Ironically, in a very deep blue area, Republican Bob Turner won Anthony Weiner's seat 54-46, the first time a Republican has held that seat since 1923. He was not part of the establishment, and did not hold back in his stances and views.
I believe these polls are correct.
I have no idea how the 2014 election will go. The best thing that could happen to Republicans is to see Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn and Lindsey Graham all lose in the 2014 primaries, those are 3 very evil people who along with others like them are the reason Republicans are taking a hit.
