With the economy still recovering slowly from the worst crisis in a generation, the 2010 midterm elections will be a struggle for the party in power. Yet, contrary to what many on the right claim, Americans' dissatisfaction with Democrats does not translate into support for Republicans. In fact, Americans view the Republican Party even more negatively than they view Democrats.

According to a new CBS News/New York Times poll, the public has very little faith in Republican leaders.

NYT Confirms People In Ohio Aren't Americans.

Frightening Numbers for Obama Out of Ohio
September 17, 2010

A new Quinnipiac poll has some shocking numbers this morning for President Obama and the Democrats.

It shows that in the bellweather state of Ohio, Republican Rob Portman is now ahead of Democrat Lee Fisher by 20-points in the U.S. Senate race there, 55%-35%.

Probably even more disconcerting for Obama and the Democrats is the fact that Obama’s approval rating in Ohio is dismal. The poll shows that by a 60%-38% margin, Ohio voters “disapprove” of the job Obama has done as President. Numbers like that begin to have huge implications for Obama’s re-election in 2012. Ohio is always a key battleground state.

Why is Obama so unpopular in Ohio? It appears that ObamaCare is one of the big reasons:
“One reason for the president’s poor rating, at least in Ohio, is his health care overhaul plan. Likely voters disapprove of it by a 65 – 30 percent margin.”

One more terrifying number for Obama in Ohio:
“Among the likely Ohio electorate for this November, President Barack Obama is not a popular fellow. Independent likely voters disapprove 65 – 31 percent of the job he is doing.”
More...
 
Well, if you REALLY look at the numbers, it shows the Dems losing ground compared to the previous poll. All in all, I'd say it confimrs the recent trend, which is not good for the Dems.

Hermit,

How come the Dems aren't running on all the things Obama accomplished?

I've asked him this before and all I get is crickets. Look at his threads, they're all focused on the GOP, keeping the finger pointed in the other direction and off of the dems.
