Last night, Missouri voters overwhelmingly voted to repeal the health insurance mandate signed into law earlier this year by Congress. 71% of the voters cast their ballot in favor of the measure to repeal the mandate. If that isn't a slap in the face of Democrats, and an indication of what they face at the polls in November, I don't know what is.
Oh wait, I do! A new poll conducated by USA Today/Gallup shows Obama with a 41% approval rating...that is the absolute lowest level of any poll out yet. Republicans also now hold the edge in the generic ballot box measure by an average of 6 points across the polls that Realclearpolitics.com follows.
There is still a lot of time to go, and I continue to suspect that things will tighten up a bit by November, as I have zero faith in all but a few Republicans. But, at these levels, Democrats are in huge trouble to not only lose control of the House, but to there is potential for the current numbers to be absolutely flip flopped. Can you imagine a Congress where there are 255 Republicans in the house against only 180 Democrats? While not probable, it is possible. That possibility should send a huge wave of panic through the White House.
It is clear they are already panicking. Every day, Obama take the opportunity to slam the Republicans. Now, the Democrats indicate they want to tie the current Republicans to the policies of George W. Bush. That will now make the Democrats look like they are out of ideas, since their ideas have clearly failed in the eyes of the people.
