RASMUSSEN: Generic Congressional Ballot: Republicans Lead by 12: GOP 48% Dems 36%...
Last week, Gallup had the generic ballot sitting on a 10 point separation between Republicans and Democrats. Today, Rasmussen Reports gives us our morning headline. And it is bad news for the Dems. It paints a worsening picture for the Democrats. Understand that the generic ballot is an excellent predictor of general national trends according to PEW Research in reports filed on Midknight Review early last month. While the Demcrats are trying to convince the voting public that the coming midterm elections is not a referendum vote on the Administration, the generic ballot paints a very different picture.
This explains why many Democrats, especially House Democrats, are running away from Obama and, even, against Obama. Representative Ron Wyden (D-Ore), a man who actually championed the healthcare bill, is now running against the bill and away from Obama. In fact, Wyden wants to pass legislation that will exempt Oregon from ObamaCare as a participating state and [exempt] the individual mandate, as well (see this related article re: Wyden). Understand that he feels this necessary while living in the very liberal state of Oregon. If we did not have a "generic poll," this eventuality would be cause enough to worry fellow Libs.
In a Congress fully controlled by Democrats, their failure to get the job done has proved to be devastating and they have no one to blame but themselves - and 75 million Americans, if not more, know who to blame and it ain't Bush. -- jds
