-13 today. I'm guessing that he is getting a bounce from proposing that the DimRats and GOP meet in a televised session on Insurance Reform.
Yeah, even Mrs. E thought that Lord Zero playing Mother Hen to a bunch of congresscritters and having it televised (along with TOTUS) is a real good deal.As if that means something.
Republicans lead by eight on the Generic Congressional Ballot. However, if the Tea Party is added as a third option, the numbers are Democrats 36%, Republicans 25% and Tea Party 17%. Sixty-three percent (63%) say it would be better for the nation if most incumbents lost their job this November. Just 38% believe their own representative in Congress deserves to be re-elected and just 27% believe their representative is the best person for the job.
In the Pennsylvania Senate race, Republican Pat Toomey still leads both Arlen Specter and Joe Sestak. In the Democratic Primary, Specter still has the edge while hovering around th 50% level of support.
You got off your ass, now get your wife off her back.
-15 today down 1 from yesterdayJust wait till the claim about Iraq hits
Robert, the Vice President last night said that Iraq could end up being one of the President's great achievements. Given that the Vice President was in favor of a partial partition of the country and the President opposed the surge that helped stabilize it, how is that one of the President's great achievements?MR. GIBBS: Well, putting what was broken back together and getting our troops home, which we intend to do in August of this year.But the Status of Forces Agreement to bring troops home was signed before the President took office. MR. GIBBS: Something that -- something that I think the political pressure that the President, as a then-candidate, helped to bring about.Look, I think that we will long debate Iraq. We will long debate whether at a very important moment in our efforts to root out terrorism particularly in Afghanistan and on that border region with Pakistan, whether we took our eye off the ball. I think historians will debate that long after we're gone. I think they will come likely to the conclusion that no single event took our eye off of what needed to be done in order to -- in order to occupy a country that, until we got there, didn’t have a single member of al Qaeda.So, look, obviously -- look, the Vice President has been deeply involved in fixing the political process there so that elections can be held and so that our troops can come home as scheduled this summer.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -11 (see trends). Republicans lead Democrats by nine percentage points on the Generic Congressional Ballot. Skepticism about politicians and government remains very high. If Congress raises taxes to reduce the deficit, most Americans believe they would actually spend the money on new government programs rather than deficit reduction. Most also support a tax limit so that no one pays more than 50% of their income in total taxes to state, federal, and local governments. Most even think that someone who earns a million dollars a year should pay less than half that total in taxes. Just 29% of voters believe the U.S. should go it alone in applying sanctions against Iran.
Just 21% of voters nationwide believe that the federal government today has the “consent of the governed.†Forty-four percent (44%) believe the Democratic Party has a plan for where it wants to take the country. Thirty-five percent (35%) say that same about the Republican Party. Seventy-five percent (75%) believe the Democratic Party leadership is politically liberal while 61% see Republican Party leadership as conservative. Thirty-five percent (35%) believe the economic stimulus package helped the economy while 33% say it hurt. The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook. Overall, 49% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove.
