Democrats driving off a cliff

Last week, President Obama's job approval rating sank to 46 percent in a Gallup poll, matching the lowest weekly job approval rating of his presidency. Few Americans were surprised. Obama's bumbling response to the BP oil spill drove the latest decline in his popularity almost equally among Democrats, Republicans and independents.

But another Gallup poll taken about the same time contained even worse news for the president. After a year and a half of "hope and change," 49 percent of Americans consider the Democratic Party "too liberal" -- compared with 39 percent in 2008, when Obama was elected. This is 1 percentage point below the all-time high Gallup recorded since it first began asking such trend questions in 1992.

This assumes they know how to drive.

Will be interesting to see Rasmussen tomorrow.

The demonrat interpretation of the Gallup poll: “too liberal” is just crypto-racist code for “too black”.

Look at how the Democrats, ESPECIALLY Obama behave..do they behave as though they're worried? On the contrary - they're behaving as though the wrecking ball they're taking to America, destroying it, won't affect them at all. At least Obama is. He's convincing Democrats to keep ramming down policy, procedures, etc., the vast majority of us don't want. Yet they keep doing it.

I'm scared to think these people know the opposition to them has one and ONLY 1 hope: November's elections. All of the opposition eggs are in that 1 single basket. It makes it easy for them to disrupt, distort, derail or worse; provide some kind of October or even September Surprise to repress turnout, etc. These people are Marxist believers - and i can't ever remember when a Marxist who ascend to the level of power these people have ever relinquish it because of something like a ballot box.
