It’s Already Too Late for Barry Obama
Shot in the Dark —
It’s The Unemployment, stupid. The announcement a week ago of 10.2% unemployment is a significant political event for President Barack Obama. It could well usher in a particularly serious crisis for his political standing, influence and ability to advance his agenda. Double-digit unemployment drove Ronald Reagan’s disapproval ratings in October 1982 up to a record high 54%. It was only when unemployment dropped to 7.3%, roughly two years later, that he was able to win a landslide victory over Democratic challenger Walter Mondale in the 1984 presidential election.

Brainster's Blog — If I Were Shedding Pounds the Way Obama's Shedding Independents... I'd be able to fit into my clothes from the 1980s. Scott Rasmussen talks about Obama's plummeting poll numbers: A CNN poll released Nov. 6 found that 47% of Americans believe the top issue facing the country is the economy, while only 17% say its health care. However, the bulk of the president's efforts over the past six months have been not on the economy but on health care, an issue in which he continues to draw negative ratings. In a Rasmussen Reports poll taken ...
Will Health Care Plan Push Away Independent Voters?
Taegan Goddard's Political Wire —
Writing in the Wall Street Journal, pollsters Scott Rasmussen and Douglas Schoen conclude President Obama "has found himself in a false and arguably artificial conundrum on health care, with the two alternatives being his bill with a public option and a trillion-dollar price tag, or no bill at all. While the failure to pass a health-care bill could be devastating for his administration, polling suggests that ramming through an expensive bill with a public option (potentially using procedural techniques in the Senate) could divide America and not improve his standing with the ...

... we offer two insights that could prove invaluable for Republican candidates, party chiefs, and operatives in 2010: In a center-right electorate, the center is holding -- to the right. Two years ago, the independent voters of America put President Obama in the White House and delivered Congress overwhelmingly to the Democrats. But oh, how times have changed. As renowned political pollsters Scott Rasmussen and Douglas E. Schoen asserted in their Wall Street Journal-Opinion Journal article , "Obama Is Losing Independent Voters," it's these very same folks -- independents -- who ...
