PostABC News poll shows Democrats at risk in November as Obama’s approval rating fall

Re: PostABC News poll shows Democrats at risk in November as Obama’s approval rating

Buck, you don't seem to grasp reality, Gerrymandering has been going on for well over a Century but that isn't the issue at all. People other than die hard Democrats do change and that reduces the effect of Gerrymandering. Why would anyone Support Obama today? I grew up a Democrat, voted Democrat until Carter and that Democrat Party left me. There isn't anything in today's Democrat Party that would cause me to come back. The party of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid say it all.

As important as you think you are ...the Democratic party will do fine without you.
Here's a reality check for YOU con...
Gerrymandering of local districts is the ONLY reason why the republicons hold the house right now. The aggregate vote across America for representatives is Democratic and growing. Gerrymandering can have no effect on Senate seats and GOP voter suppression legislation will suppress just as many hillbilly tea party votes as it will inner city Democratic votes. No net gain for the republicons
America is undergoing a dramatic shift in voter demographics and the republicons are always coming down on the wrong side of racism. That is a losing combination for the Geee Ohhh Peee in all upcoming elections.

Sorry, but the only people I am important to are my family and I couldn't care less what you think about me. Yes, the Democrat Party will exist long enough to try and destroy the foundation upon which this country was built and people like you will always view the grass greener on the other side until you get there.

Social responsibility rests with the family and the local communities not the Federal Govt. Apparently history is foreign to you as no socialist country in the world has any success story to tout. You will always look for utopia and never find it especially with your ideology

You put too much emphasis now on Gerrymandering and none whatsoever on the fact that Republicans took over the House in 1994 for the first time in 40 years and did so not because of Gerrymandering but because of ideas like the Contract with America. Economic results not gerrymandering will lead to the take over of the Senate as well unless there are a majority like you who wants an expansive, intrusive, massive central govt. trying to legislate equal outcome for people who cannot compete in society.

I do feel sorry for people who cannot compete but trying to legislate equal outcome and legislating social issues isn't the answer and never will be
 
Re: PostABC News poll shows Democrats at risk in November as Obama’s approval rating

How do you know what was in the House Bills? As for filibustering a bill they have to be presented before being filibustered

Just today, the minimum wage bill was blocked from opening debate in the Senate. What are Senate GOPs afraid of? As Senate GOPs like McConnell said last decade, give us a straight-up-or-down vote !
 
Re: PostABC News poll shows Democrats at risk in November as Obama’s approval rating

Democrats face serious obstacles as they look to the November elections, with President Obama’s approval rating at a new low and a majority of voters saying they prefer a Congress in Republican hands to check the president’s agenda, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Obama’s approval rating fell to 41 percent, down from 46 percent through the first three months of the year and the lowest of his presidency in Post-ABC News polls. Just 42 percent approve of his handling of the economy, 37 percent approve of how he is handling the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and 34 percent approve of his handling of the situation involving Ukraine and Russia.

He's still that popular?


The question I have is how many posts in will it be before I read that Obama will regain the house in November with approval ratings BELOW 40%....

If you read between the lines here, it is all about credibility. On the files where he has boasted, gone meteoric in his already over-the-top rhetoric he is well into the 30's. He has simply told too many lies, been too much the swashbuckler, "enemies" baiter and too little the deliverer.
 
Re: PostABC News poll shows Democrats at risk in November as Obama’s approval rating

And it would have been nice if Mitch McConnell would have allowed debate today on minimum wage, a bill without riders and poison pills.
Since it takes 60 votes to pass legislation in the Senate Control takes on less of a
meaning however it would be great if Harry Reid at least allowed debate and votes on House bills.
There's a reason we have aq 17th amendment, and it sitsw in the lap of the GOP from 100 years ago.
Thankfully God gave us President Roosevelt .

To me, it'll always be a civil union. "Marriage" is a word the gay agenda isn't going to highjack from me.

That ship has sailed.
 
Re: PostABC News poll shows Democrats at risk in November as Obama’s approval rating

The old take a civics class quip--some things just don't change here with you, Conservative.
You don't seem to get it, national polls don't elect Senators or House Members.
one of these days you may just take a civics class.
Then you will have some credibility.
National polls are the reason why GOPs are so giddy and being warned by Rove not to get so cocky.
 
Re: PostABC News poll shows Democrats at risk in November as Obama’s approval rating

I have to agree that the GOP is shooting themselves in the foot.
They may have thrown Alaska away, by missing an important deadline, and thus not getting several issues important to Democrats on the primary ballot.
Now those votes will be held in November, which is good for Democrats, and bad for Republicans.
Only idiots can do what the GOP in Alaska did.
They ensured that Democrats, which never turn out in mid terms, will turn out in huge numbers there.
2014 is a new election, unlike any we have ever seen, and will not fit neatly into your hole of not voting.
Surprising you don't support Begich since he supports the ACA you support.
Not to mention eenergy and guns.
Those who claim others are blind Democrats should look inside their own closet .

What does that have to do with the House Bills being locked in Harry Reid's desk? What are Democrats afraid of? You don't seem to understand how out govt. works, not surprising. Just go back to blaming Bush for everything for that is all you and other ideologues can do.

Please tell me why it is the Govt's job to tell a private business owner what they should pay their employees?

No, sorry, the GOP is "giddy" because of state polls as well as the opportunity to get rid of the Obama agenda what has just generated .1% GDP growth. Keep focusing on social issues as an attempt to divert from the very poor Obama economy
 
Re: PostABC News poll shows Democrats at risk in November as Obama’s approval rating

It really is hard dealing with zealots like you who are basically single issue voters.
Such as Conservatives who are single-issue voters on ACA.
Or abortion--or gaysa--or guns--or GOD--or wanting another Iraq.
I am not stopping you from fighting for same sex marriage in your state.
It is a state issue and will always be a state issue.
Why do you care if the people of TX refuse to accept SSM? how does that affect you?
Or trying to pass off National issues as State's rights issues .
 
Re: PostABC News poll shows Democrats at risk in November as Obama’s approval rating

Yes, not sorry, you keep liking your polls when they help your GOP and not liking the polls when they help DEMs.
No, sorry, the GOP is "giddy" because of state polls as well as the opportunity to get rid of the Obama agenda what has just generated .1% GDP growth. Keep focusing on social issues as an attempt to divert from the very poor Obama economy
Check out the new STATE polls in yesterday's RCP, showing DEMs up 51-49 in the Senate.
And bring on Cory Gardner and his Personhood amendment in Colorado
 
Re: PostABC News poll shows Democrats at risk in November as Obama’s approval rating

What does that have to do with the House Bills being locked in Harry Reid's desk?
Which of those bills are "clean", as with last October with the GOP renegades in the House.
Do expecdt that to come back as an issue, along with all the parts of ACA that Americans like that your GOP wants to get rid of .
 
Re: PostABC News poll shows Democrats at risk in November as Obama’s approval rating

What are Democrats afraid of? [/QUOTE
What were GOP Senators led by McConnell afraid of today, not wanting DEBATE on a minimum wage bill that would pass on its merits?
You don't seem to understand how out govt. works, not surprising.
Warn-out quip on those who don't agree with you not knowing how gov't works.
Just go back to blaming Bush for everything for that is all you and other ideologues can do.
And then brings up Bush on his own to try and use as a politicfal weapon.

Please tell me why it is the Govt's job to tell a private business owner what they should pay their employees?
How many billions are enough for you people, while you enslave a permanent underclass ?

ACA affects every American and is an expense that many businesses cannot absorb and that those of us who pay taxes have to fund.

Have you ever employed anyone? Do you have any idea what the costs are associated with employment?

When you get a marriage license do you go to the Federal or State government for that license? You and other zealots are the ones trying to make this a federal issue.
 
Re: PostABC News poll shows Democrats at risk in November as Obama’s approval rating

King has already come out and said he might caucus with Republicans. He is an opportunist. If Republicans offer him a good deal to switch sides, he will do it. And the GOP will make that offer. I stand by my prediction here.

Angus King suggests he may caucus with GOP if it retakes Senate

And when the DEMs take back the Senate in 2016, King can remain a GOP.
We'll see how that works out for him in 2018 for reelection .

Do you know how the Senate works? It takes 60 votes to pass legislation in the Senate. I am still waiting for you to explain to us all why it is the Federal Government's responsibility to tell a private business that has their own money invested in that business what they should pay their employees?

"Enslaving the underclass?" Ok, typical liberalism. Who forced those employees to work for minimum wage? Again spoken by someone who has no clue how business or the govt. works.
