Fifty-four percent (54%) of voters nationwide favor repeal of the recently passed health care law. The issue is having an impact early in the election 2010 season. Harry Reid is struggling in Nevada, a state where 62% of voters favor repeal. In Kentucky, 65% support repeal and Republican candidates have a big edge in that open seat race.

Quote
The Rasmussen Reports Media Meter shows that coverage of President Barack Obama has been 54% positive over the past seven days. However, positive coverage peaked in the week following passage of the health care bill and it has been declining since.

Quote
Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove.

Quote
On major issues, 48% of voters say that the average Tea Party member is closer to their views than President Barack Obama. Forty-four percent (44%) believe the president’s views are closer to their own. Fifty-three percent (53%) now trust Republicans more than Democrats on the health care issue.

Quote
Seventy-two percent (72%) of voters favor offshore oil drilling. Most (59%) want the President to go further and allow drilling off the coasts of California and New England.

Yup, all those people are finding out there is no such thing as free healthcare.  It's going down unless something major happens, IMHO.

I checked BCBS, late last week, for me. Low $300's/month with a $3500 deductible, paying for all specialists out of pocket. I have never smoked, and knock on wood....no health problems.

Free healthcare.... :lmao:

Lower insurance rates..... :lmao:

Congress didn't want to put in the HCB insurance available across state lines.... :censored:

Our parents?  How about ours?  Sadly, I deal with people I went to school with who think that standing on a wall in Berlin ended the cold war (she blogs over at Huffpo).  Of course, she doesn't think for one second as to HOW she got the opportunity to stand on that wall, but I haven't asked her to thank me or any of the millions of others who made it possible yet.

YET.

Mr. Bunny linked to this.  Pretty damning, but election day is still seven months away.  I'm just wondering why I'm not seeing more noise about midterm elections at this point... I know it's early, but those dumbasses started campaigning for the Oval Orifice two years ahead of schedule.

Well....RCP is VERY conservative (meaning cautious) in their predictions.......there are at least two senate seats that they consider "toss ups" that really are not.....they are likely "R's"........the reason that there is no "noise" is that both the MSM and the Dems see a Tsunami heading their way in November.  Talking about it now, would only make them look weaker, and the results worse.

It is beginning to be discussed, but the filing deadlines for those seeking reelection, in many cases have not arrived as yet, and I suspect we will see several more Dems decide that running (for high ground) is a better choice than facing that wall of water that is just over the horizion......

By the end of May, most of the state filing deadlines will have expired, and the "wave" should be in full view......

I'd love to see Babs and Specter out on their asses.  I'd give up the rest of the toss-ups to see those two career politicians sent to an early overdue retirement, but that's just my personal opinion.

I believe Specter will be on the unemployment line. He is proof of just what politicians are like. They switch sides when it is in their favor. He was originaly a Dem-O-Rat,switched to the GOP when it was to his favor, then back to a Dem. when it was to his favor again. He was NEVER a conservative.

I think that if Repubs run on job, job, jobs, less taxes, repeal health care and it's the economy stupid, they can win 50 to 100 House seats and 8 to 10 Senate seats. The wins for the Repubs in VA, NJ and MA should be the blueprint.

Quote
In his new book, Scott Rasmussen states that “The gap between Americans who want to govern themselves and politicians who want to rule over them may be as big today as the gap between the colonies and England during the 18th century.” He adds that “If we had to rely on politicians to fix these problems, the outlook would be bleak indeed. Fortunately, in America, the politicians aren’t nearly as important as they think they are.”

Quote
It is important to remember that the Rasmussen Reports job approval ratings are based upon a sample of likely voters. Some other firms base their approval ratings on samples of all adults. President Obama's numbers are always several points higher in a poll of adults rather than likely voters. That's because some of the President's most enthusiastic supporters, such as young adults, are less likely to turn out to vote. It is also important to check the details of question wording when comparing approval ratings from different firms.

Still -13 today, Sunday.

Quote
Sixty-six percent (66%) believe that America is overtaxed. Only 25% disagree.

Quote
Thirty-nine percent (39%) believe the Supreme Court is too liberal while 25% say it is too conservative. Forty-five percent (45%) expect that the President’s next Supreme Court nominee will be too liberal while 41% say the pick will be about right.

Quote
Over the past week, media coverage of the President has turned more negative.

-11 today (Monday).

Quote
It is now clear that the Democrats succeeded in energizing their base by passing the President’s proposed health care reform. Since passage of that legislation, the number who Strongly Approve of Obama’s performance has stayed between 28% and 34%. For months prior to passage, the number who Strongly Approved generally stayed between 22% and 27%.

Quote
While the Democratic base has been energized, there has been little or no change in views of the President among Republicans and unaffiliated voters. The number of voters who Strongly Disapprove of the President has remained consistently above 40% both before and after passage of the health care law.

Quote
In Florida, Marco Rubio now leads Charlie Crist 57% to 28% in the race for the GOP Senate nomination.

-9 today (Thursday)

Quote
It's tax day in America and 66% of voters nationwide believe the nation is overtaxed. Two-out-of-three also believe that the middle class pays a bigger share of its income in taxes than wealthy Americans.

Quote
Most voters believe that tax cuts are good for the economy and tax hikes are bad. It's been a year since the Tea Party movement began and Rasmussen Reports has provided a brief profile of Tea Party Members. Most voters believe the new health care law will lead to higher middle class taxes. That's one reason most voters support repeal of that law.

Quote
Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove. New state pages have been launched. Take a moment to check out RasmussenReports/Illinois and RasmussenReports/Pennsylvania. The Rasmussen Reports Media Meter shows that 49% of the President’s coverage has been positive. That’s down from 60% just after passage of the health care law.
