The new NBC poll shows the generic Congressional ballot widening out from 3 points to an 8 point spread in favor of Democrats. Obama has recovered from his August teabagging to where he stood at the time of the 2008 Election, and Republicans are now at their most unpopular in 25 years – 2 points more unpopular than at any point during George Bush’s term. That means they’ve managed to piss off voters above and beyond what Bush can reasonably be blamed for. That disparity, I’m sure, would be even more glaring if NBC had released the results by region, revealing even their current pathetic standing to be propped up disproportionately by the South. In a recent Research 2000 poll, favorable attitudes toward the Republican Party in the Northeast were a comical 6%. There is a difference between the moderate Independents who are waiting to see if Obama can deliver and who want him to deliver on his promises. And then there is the Republican base who thinks Obama is a secret Kenyan Manchurian candidate bent on destroying America and hastening our capture by Islamo-CommuFascism. In other words, total nutsacks rotting the Party’s foundation. I wouldn’t exactly be breaking out the champagne.

What issues exactly?

I would never trust an NBC poll due to its ownership and how one sided they are in their reporting. This poll may have more credence if it was done by an independent and respected pollster. IE. Franklin Marshall would be a good choice for PA.
And I do not think that Obama has recovered in anyway. Especially on the national scene. Look at Virginia as an example – and they were enamored by Obama.
Pa in 2010 is going to become more balanced as well – in my opinion.
Visit http://www.Damian2010.com for an example of a candidate who is shaking up the 13th in a run against Schwartz. This and other races like this will be factors next year. When in the past they would not have been. That is because these are candidates that are offering the People a real voice and real change.
