Satisfaction With U.S. Historically Low for Midterm Year
Satisfaction With U.S. Historically Low for Midterm Year
They tell us anger about the healthcare bill forced down our throats has cooled and that means we won't throw the bums out this November.
LET'S PROVE THEM WRONG, ONCE AGAIN. Throw the bums out!
Vote conservative only!
Satisfaction with the way things are going is a key indicator to watch leading up to Election Day in November. Low satisfaction ratings have typically been associated with greater net seat change between parties in Congress in midterm election years, as was the case for the 1982, 1994, and 2006 elections. In each of those years, the average satisfaction rating was no higher than 33%. In 1994 and 2006, as is the case this year, the same party controlled the presidency and Congress heading into the elections, and party control of Congress changed hands after Election Day.
In years with higher satisfaction ratings, such as 1986 and 1998, the number of congressional seats changing parties was low.
Democrats are clearly vulnerable to losing their majority this year -- Gallup's generic ballot tracking shows that registered voters are divided in their current vote preferences for Congress, but given the usual Republican turnout advantage, the Republicans appear to hold the upper hand at this point.
