Midknight Review -- new and revised: The general opinion of the American electorate is this: Obama is not doing a satisfactory job.

A Summary Review of the latest Thomson Reuters/IPSOS poll showing Obama with a 39% approval rating and a 64% concensus opinion that the nation is “headed in the wrong direction.”

First, let me dispel the notion that this poll is heavily weighed in favor of the Democrat alliance. Although the separation is stated as 40% Democrat and 30% Republican (numbers given within the report, itself), still, this same report gives us a numerical separation of just 32 Democrats. The report states 643 Democrats interviewed to 611 Republicans. Based on this last bit of information, we will not argue the results.

And the result includes these rather alarming statistics:

A full 64% of the nation believes we are headed down the wrong path.

71% of all Independents share in this belief, a number high enough to cause alarm with Democrats, as they face a mid-term election in 14 months. There are signs that this coming election will be as much a “wave” election as was the 2010. This particular stats is one of those signs.

Understand that the “line item” polling issues (Medicare, ObamaCare, Foreign Policy, Environment, Women’s Rights, Social Security, Taxes, and so on), within the scope of this polling survey, are more the result of an uninformed constituency rather than an out growth of the disposition of the electorate. In other words, Democrats do very well in this survey on issues of the environment, Social Security, Medicare, and health care, in spite of the fact Medicare is 42 trillion (yes, with a “t”) in debt. Ditto for Social Security, where the nation owes more than 17 trillion in unfunded (that means we don’t have the money) liabilities. ObamaCare, as we all know, is severely flawed, inoperable in it’s present form, and unsustainable as to future indebtedness. In fact, it promises to be in more debt, within 30 years, than Medicare and Social Security combined . . . . . yet folks who receive benefits from these programs do not admit to any serious problems.

When folks are impressed with the seriousness of the debt, whether nationally or with each of these several program, they vote in favor of dealing with the issues. When the GOP has failed to communicate the critical nature societal debt at all levels, they lose power and influence.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
