Obama in 2010 versus Clinton in 1994. We made it happen in '94. We must make it happen in 2010.

The most recent Gallup poll has Obama's numbers similar to those of Bill "Bulb nose" Clinton in 1994 . . . . . not good news for Socialist Democrats. Lets not forget that 1994 marked the end of 30 years of rule by a Democrat Congress when that midterm election posted 56 Republican victories in the House and 8 in the Senate, giving the condescending, as well, BUT not as political inept. An unrelenting ideologue must govern as a tyrant. While Clinton was a liberal, he had not moral center. He couldn't have been an ideologue if he had wanted to. Obama apparently cannot be anything but.

Here is Gallups summary of the current situation for Obama:

Voters Currently Divided on Second Obama Term

Just under half say he deserves re-election

by Jeffrey M. Jones

PRINCETON, NJ -- Registered voters are about evenly divided over whether President Barack Obama is deserving of a second term in office. Currently, 46% say he deserves re-election and 50% say he does not. Predictably, Democrats are one-sided for Obama's re-election and Republicans are one-sided against it, while independents lean against a second Obama term.

The 46% who say Obama deserves re-election is similar to his recent job approval ratings, which have been running just under 50%. The current results also echo what Gallup found recently when it asked voters whether they would be more likely to vote for Obama or the Republican candidate in the 2012 presidential election.

Gallup has asked the public whether other recent presidents deserved re-election, and the results suggest that the question is not highly predictive this far out from a president's re-election bid. For example, in late April/early May 2002, 69% of registered voters said George W. Bush deserved re-election. At that time, Bush's job approval rating was 77% as he was still enjoying the post-9/11 rally. Bush did win re-election in 2004, although in a close contest with John Kerry.

The current numbers for Obama are similar to what Gallup found for Bill Clinton at almost precisely the same point in his presidency, in late March 1994. In that poll, 46% of Americans (the survey did not identify registered voters) said Clinton deserved to be re-elected and 48% said he did not.

Americans became somewhat less likely to say Clinton was deserving of re-election over the course of 1994. Gallup's last measurement before the 1994 midterm elections, in October, showed 38% of Americans (and the same percentage of registered voters) saying Clinton deserved re-election, with the majority of 57% saying he did not. The Democratic Party suffered huge losses in the 1994 midterm elections, but Clinton was elected to a second term two years later by a comfortable margin over Bob Dole.

Editor's notes: with regard to the Clinton/Dole elections, all we have to say is "Bob who ??"
