In poll, Republicans gaining political ground on Obama (Stick to your guns GOP, you're winning)

Republicans have significantly narrowed the gap with Democrats on who is trusted to deal with the country's problems and have sharply reduced several of President Obama's main political advantages, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

The survey paints a portrait of a restless and dissatisfied electorate at the beginning of a critical election year. More than seven in 10 Americans disapprove of the job Congress is doing, and as many say they're inclined to look for new congressional representation as said so in 1994 and 2006, the last times that control of Congress shifted.

Asked how they would vote in the November House elections, Americans split evenly -- 46 percent siding with the Democrats, 46 percent with the Republicans. As recently as four months ago, Democrats held a 51 to 39 percent advantage on this question.

How unfortunate that this is the moment when Michael Steele has chosen to tell the world that Republicans are racists.

The republicans are too stupid to create a winning campaign - they could be talking about jobs lost via drilling or jobs lost because gas is a dollar higher now than one year ago, they could be talking about bank fees on credit cards that are killing the little guy, but NO all they can say is we are not them. Too stupid to be in government. Too corrupt to get the votes.
