Obama at historical low in polls

Filed under Elections
Rasmussen reported on July 21 that:
Over the past year, the Democrats fixed on what they thought was a devastating four-word slogan to defeat Republicans in 2010: “The Party of No.” Unlike many campaign slogans, it was fair enough. After all, the Republicans had opposed almost unanimously all of President Obama’s major bills (socialized health care, stimulus, nationalization of GM and Chrysler, “cap and trade,” financial overregulation, multitrillion-dollar yearly deficits, tax increases, etc.) But the Democrats seem to have stopped using that phrase in the past several weeks as, apparently, White House strategists have come to appreciate that the only people screaming “no” louder than the Grand Old Party are the American people. (The president is now opposed by more than 60 percent of independents, 60 percent of whites, almost 40 percent of Hispanics and a full 19 percent of registered Democrats — all historic worst numbers for the president.) [bold emphasis mine]
So there you have it! November can’t come quickly enough so we can at least take care of Congress.

    Gallup just in also with these results:

    50% of Americans report having “Very Little” or “No” confidence in CONgress; 11%, a new low, report having a “Great Deal” or “Quite a Lot” of confidence in that institution.

    In contrast, 76% had a “Great Deal” or “Quite a Lot” of confidence in the military; small business was second at 66%.

    In the lollercoaster-of-the-month, “banks” and “television news” were almost tied at 23% and 22%, respectively.

    In other words, according to the American people, our national institutions have completely failed, yet those same institutions retain their hold on power.

    November is only the beginning.
