Ever since being elected Barack Obama and the Democrats have been doing everything they can to ensure that they wont be reelected.
Congressional approval is at an all-time low and Obamas numbers keep heading south. Americans voted for change in the last election and now they are saying Oh wait uh... I was just kidding.
I guess we see where that has gotten us. We have a government that no one wants and so-called leaders who dont listen. The elections are ours for the taking if we dont blow it.
According to a new Gallup poll Congress ranks dead last among sixteen institutions in their 2010 Confidence in Institutions poll. Only 11 percent of respondents have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in Congress. This marks the lowest congressional rating ever for Gallup. Rounding out the bottom four are Organized Labor Big business HMOs and then Congress.
However the other three actually rose slightly in the eyes of the respondents from last years poll. Congress dropped 6 points.
Gallup has the Obamas approval rating at 47 while Rasmussen Reports has Obamas approval rating at 44. Rasmussen also notes that only 27 of likely voters believe the country is heading in the right direction.
About half of Democrats feel the country is heading in the right direction but 90 of Republicans and 75 of voters not affiliated with either major party believe the country is heading down the wrong track. Sixty-seven percent (67) of all voters say the country is heading down the wrong track three points higher than last week. Following the passage of the health care bill voter pessimism dropped to 60 but has risen since then.Rasmussens poll also neatly summarizes whats wrong with this country in a single paragraph by noting that 65 of the so-called political class say the country is heading in the RIGHT direction while 82 of mainstream voters say its heading in the WRONG direction. Hey Washington... get a clue! In Rasmussens Generic Congressional Ballot poll Republican candidates now hold a nine-point lead over Democrats... the widest gap between the two parties in several weeks. This generic ballot poll is a great indicator of how things will go in November and it shows that the Democrats are in trouble. Republicans are poised to make solid gains in fall Senate races with anywhere from 3 to 6 seats switching from Democrat to Republican. If Republicans follow-up the dismal performance of the Democrats with a strong campaign message the results could be even better. The American people have gotten a real taste of hope and change. Its not so fun is it? Thanks to the Tea Party movement more Americans are paying attention to whats happening in this country and the result will be something thats been sorely lacking... accountability. The Democrats and other politicians who disregard the will of the American people are about to pay the piper. We cant let these liberals and RINOs off the hook! Vote in your states primaries and vote in the general election. Its as simple as that.
