7 months after the ObamaCare roll-out, Democrat polling numbers are as bad as ever.

<<<<  2014 midterms could look a lot like this.  Obama told "us," to "go win an election if you don't like my policies."  We did (2010) and we just might do it again.  

When surveyed on the issue of “right track – wrong track,”  the latest Washington Post/ABC poll shows 66% of Americans believe the nation is on the wrong track.  And,  despite a more positive view of the Democrat Party,  18% of those surveyed blame “Obama and the Democrats in Congress” compared to only 6% blaming the GOP.   Understand that 18 to 6 is a 3 to 1 ratio,  or,  to put it differently, three times as many folks blame the Dems (and especially H Obama) as blame the GOP.  

As to the handling of the Russian/Ukraine crisis,  only 34% believe Obama is effectively handling that issue. 

Surprisingly,  only 37% believe ObamaCare has effective presidential leadership. 

Clearly,  this poll,  taken over the past several days,  proves the ineffectiveness of all the recent Obama trash talking as he continues with “blame game politics.”  This is the end of April.  By September,  thinking heads tell us the electorate,  statistically speaking,  has decided on their voting preferences. after September,  the political wars will be for less than 5% of the voting population.  We are four months removed from that time of year . . . . . . . .  bad news for the Dems.  What you may not realize is this:  all of these numbers are worse than those recorded in the months before the 2010 midterms.   While nothing is written in stone,  still,  all of this news,  confirmed in the Left Leaning media,  is bad news for the Dems,  a critical fact at a time when donors are making decisions to spend or wait until the 2016 cycle.   

For what it is worth,  I do not believe that Boehner and his mouth can or will effect the midterm elections.  The ‘non-presidential” elections (aka “midterms”) are nothing less than a huge number of local elections.  All 435 House representatives are up for election/re-elections as well as approximately 33 Senators.  With no one in the mix running for president,  midterms are,  typically,  a referendum on the sitting president and the effectiveness/likability of the individual representatives. 

If the  “recovery” remains “jobless,”  if part-time employment continues to grow at a faster rate than full time employment,  if minimum wage jobs continue to increase at a 2 to 1 ratio over better paying jobs,  if ObamaCare continues to be a negative and if Obama’s foreign policy continues its implosion,  the 2014 midterms could be historic in terms of its one-sidedness. 

All we can do is hope for the best.  

As an aside and to make matters worse,  we have this brief review of  Democrat/Obama numbers:  

Since 2009, Obama has suffered a 39% overall decline in his key strengths.  But more importantly, the president has suffered a 9% decline since the election in 2012.  He now is at the same levels as his first midterm election in 2010 when the Democrats suffered crushing defeats that saw Republicans take away 6 governorships, 6 Senate seats, and 63 House of Representative seats  (not to mention 800 state and local elections that "flipped" for the GOP ~ editor).
