I honestly have no idea what will end up happening in November, but these numbers aren’t promising for anyone.
52% of the undecideds in the Senate race disapprove of President Obama to 35% who like the job he’s doing. They don’t think much of the Democrats in Congress either- only 26% have a like the job they’re doing.
Those numbers might seem bad- but they pale in comparison to how negatively those voters feel about Congressional Republicans- only 10% approve of the job they’re doing while 61% disapprove. So these voters are down on President Obama and the Democratic majority- but their most negatives feelings are toward the Republican minority.
These are folks who normally would vote to ‘throw the bums out.’ But they think the alternative is even bigger bums. It’ll be interesting to see how folks like this across the country end up voting this fall- and it could determine whether Democrats keep control of the House and a healthy majority in the Senate or not.
Only 10% approve of Congressional Republicans? I was feeling a little blue until I saw those numbers.
61% disapproval for Congressional Republicans…? The REVEAL is nigh.
Do you like the job the Obama and the Democrats are doing?
How’s the economy? 9.5% unemployment: Fail.
Stimulus? Too little and no more. Fail
Financial Reform Bill? Too weak prevent another crisis like the last one: Fail
HCR? No cost controls or public option: Fail
Afghanistan? War escalation with no end in sight: Fail
Close Gitmo? No plan or timetable: Fail
Repeal DADT? Maybe, but so far: Fail
Nominate Liberal supreme court justices? Nope: Fail
Prosecute war crimes? None: Fail
Restore civil liberties? Nope: Fail
Clean-up the oil in the Gulf: Nope: Fail
End black prisons and extraordinary renditions: Nope: Fail
That’s THE REVEAL for you.
The sad part is, when THE REVEAL happens, old A1 will be the first one trying to give me a high five and making pretend that he was down with THE REVEAL all along.
Jason, here’s a list that your name should be on:

When you come in for that high five, I am going to leave you so hanging.
We’ll probably be hanging together.
Jason and THE REVEAL, are analogous to Reagan and the proverbial “pony under the pile of horse manure”.
remember the idiocy of the country–we hate Congress, but we re-elect our own Congresspeople year after year. it’s YOUR Congresspeople that we hate (the ones that we can do little about, other than whine). No one realizes that the Congresspeople that YOU re-elect are the Congresspeople that those outside your state hate.
