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.

Say it ain't so?!?! But, but... he's Obama? That can't be true.

Seriously though. I can't believe his numbers are that high.

It's true, but then again, Obama looked like a sure loser last presidential election. :shrug:

And you are assuming that Obama's diapproval numbers will automotacially mean that the GOP is looked well upon. Here's a hint, they aren't either.

And per your article here's this:

Americans trust Democrats over Republicans by 40 to 34 percent to handle the country’s main problems.

Frankly both parties suck and I won't be voting for either of them.

I'm not assuming anything. You'll have to ask WaPo & ABC what they're assuming. I copied in their words.

This is what will kill dems.

"Pessimism about the economy also persists, with more than seven in 10 describing the economy in negative terms. Public attitudes about the future of the economy are anything but rosy. Just 28 percent say they think the economy is getting better, while 36 percent say it is getting worse and 35 percent say it’s staying the same.

Yes, that was said last election too. The problem for the GOP is as long as they focus on social conservatism, they will continue to lose. That is fact, and you'll see.

By the way, you shouldn't assume people don't read the articles that they themselves post on here. You don't know what people read.

Well to claim that the Dems are in trouble when the majjority of people still support them over the GOP on major issues shows that either you didn't read the article or you are being intellectually dishonest. Take your pick.

Keep telling yourself that and maybe you will believe it. However, for the majority of people that isn't the case.

So you haven't read the thread, obviously. You're just having a meltdown.

Except for "More here", none of the words in the OP are mine. Good grief.

You think the majority of America blames Bush for the stagnant economy we have now?

Yeah but when you throw in this part with it.....then those numbers get a little worse.



Fox poll: 61% thinks Obama lies on important matters....

About six in ten American voters think Barack Obama lies to the country on important matters some or most of the time, according to a Fox News poll released Wednesday.

Thirty-seven percent think Obama lies “most of the time,” while another 24 percent say he lies “some of the time.” Twenty percent of voters say “only now and then” and 15 percent “never.”

Only among his strongest constituencies does Obama’s reputation for honesty remain strong — or at least relatively so:

The number of voters saying Obama lies “most of the time” includes 13 percent of Democrats. It also includes 12 percent of blacks, 16 percent of liberals, 31 percent of unmarried women and 34 percent of those under age 30 — all key Obama constituencies.

Yet some of those groups are also among those most likely to say Obama “never” lies to the country on important matters: blacks (37 percent), Democrats (31 percent), liberals (28 percent) and women (19 percent).

Yes, those are not exactly massive statements of confidence in Obama’s honesty. The problem for Obama is that even when he pursued unpopular policy, public perception of his intelligence and honesty helped keep his approval ratings from utterly tanking. His central conceit — that he was not just another politician — is what allowed him to endure the disastrous 2010 cycle and survive the 2012 re-election. The explosion of the “you can keep your plan” lie, combined with the more recent and more flagrant “women only earn 77 cents to men’s dollar” lie, has done the predictable damage to his reputation.

Even with that, though, Obama’s approval rating actually rebounded slightly in this series. It’s back to 42/51 from 38/54 six weeks ago in this series, which was an all-time low. Believe it or not, 42/51 is actually Obama’s best approval rating in this series for 2014 — a tie on approval, and the lowest disapproval of the year.....snip~

Yep that must be it exccept it's not. Nice try though. The fact remains the article said:

Chew on that son.

No. In fact the last election was not about Bush at all, yet you go right on believing that it was about Bush.

The fact remains the GOP constantly screws up by trying to push social conservatism. They claim the economy is the most important issue (which I think is too), yet they continue to focus on social conservatism.
