The honeymoon is ALREADY over? Shocking numbers

[lawgator1]

GOP has to me mortified by today's combined Dem-Rep poll which shows:


Just 25 percent of the country thinks that the GOP will bring the right kind of change to the Congress! 25 percent! That is atrocious, no two ways about it.

Obama's support has soared. 53 percent think he is doing a good job, up eight percent in the month, including the takeover of the House by the GOP.

55 percent think that the GOP willl be too inflexible in dealing with Obama. The same percentage says Obama will strike the right balance.

40 percent think the economy is improving, up 8 points in the last month.

I think Obama has outflanked the GOP on the tax deal and coopted them on expressing desire to work together to improve the economy. Bottom line is that the GOP is already behind and all they've done is pass one meaningless bill for cheap theatrics on talk radio, which they already own.

Time to get a new plan.

Drawing up some racist cartoons.

Economy is moving in the right direction. Obama's numbers are jumping. Democrats will still likely lose control of the Senate, but I don't see Obama losing the White House. One potentially recurring possibility is a Government shutdown.

Third time Obamas economy has been trending better, but there is real reason to believe it. Nothing has fundamentally changed to help it and any upturn raises specter of hideous inflation.

They came in with such self-described acclaim that a number like 25 percent confidence before they lift a finger is a bit surprising.

Don't see how you can deny that.

Perception. 40 percent think it will improve in next 12 months, more than half think so over next five years. The political consequences of that are undeniable.

The approval rating for congress has been low for generations. This isn't new.

40% isn't a high number.

Which should tell you it hasnothing to do with the party. Those willing to respond to this idiotic poll are simply saying that they all suck and they're right.

1) Actually, historically speaking its fair.

2) More significant is the trend. Up 8 points in one month.

Probably because the liberals don't have total control anymore, right?

You either did not read the artcile or are intentionally obfuscating the poll results.

Its not 25 percent for Congress, in general. I agree that number is always low.

Its that only 25 percent of the country thinks that the new GOP House majority is going to bring good change to the Congress.

I mean, that's like saying that no one has confidence in the new CEO of Eastern Airlines.

Third point is the one that should tell you that the remainder of your inferences are reaches at best.

If no one has faith in congress in general than why would anyone think a new congress.would result in positive change. He'll id answer no to this question.

Historically, when a new party takes control of the House or the Senate, they enjoy some period of confidence. It erodes over time as they take action and the other side has something to criticize.


Here, the GOP has this landslide, punch in the mouth, victory. And less than two weeks after they are sworn in, the foil they used to gain their win is surging in the polls and the GOP has the confidence of just 25 percent of the country.

Anything can happen. But if you are GOP strategist you have to wonder what card you have left to play at this point.

And that's the point. It isn't at all a party thing. It's a congress vs the people thing.
