A new Fox News poll goes a long way to explaining the growing anxiety among Democrats about the upcoming midterm elections. Not only is support for Obama and his signature Obamacare law underwater, both are more unpopular than they were at this point ahead of the mid-term elections in 2010.
Support for the Democrats and Obamacare, in fact, is less than it was on the eve of the 2010 election, when Republicans routed Democrats up and down the ballot.
Today, just 42% of voters approve of the job Obama is doing as President, while 51% disapprove. Among Independents, Obama fares worse, with just 32% approving of his performance and 62% disapproving. In late April, 2010, however, voter approval of Obama was split, 46-46.
Obama's approval ratings today almost match those in late October 2010 when 41% of voters approved and 50% disapproved.
In this latest poll, Republicans lead the generic Congressional ballot by 3 points, 44-41. This is roughly were the party stood in April 2010, with the GOP leading Democrats 42-38.

the Party of Blatant Lies ? Who could have any faith in them at this point ? Other than the direct recipients of what the lies generate .
It’s not approval of Obama directly that matters. It’s how much his stench, and the stench of their support for him has rubbed off on them that matters.
In other words, a black racist.
I’ll bet the RATs’ own internal polling looks even worse.
Yup, so true.
Guess that means that 40 % baseline approval of Obama is equal to the “squash-heads” that see nor hear no evil in the land of Obamanation.
Don’t count your ballots before they’re found..........................
They’re all ORCS!
Correct. That is why Indies, TEAS, Libertarians, conserv PUBS, have to unite and forget the Bush-Rove RNC baloney about amnesty and go out and vote out every Dem possible. No excuses. We need a complete overhaul of the Senate. There are really now 14 competitive seats. If the Pubs won 10 of them, the shock wave would hit home to the inane amnesty cave into the Dems ploy. Deal with immigration after the 2014 election when conservs will be in the Senate to make sure no amnesty occurs. Then in 2016 make it an issue against Hil. If amnesty goes in now, no Pub will ever be elected.
“a person would have to truly hate America and have the IQ of a squash to approve obozo and the democRATS in any way. “
But then you have the 13% of the population ( The Gibbsmedats ) who have a vested interest in free $hit and racism with whom to contend. The only good thing is that FUBO isn’t on the ballot. Now all we need is for there to be seriously inclement weather the first week in November and it may well be a landslide!
Expect the corrupt MSM to go into full propaganda hyperdrive before the elections to protect their Democrat allies.
Indeed they are, but the GOPe is playing their strong hand even more weakly than in ‘10.
If Boehner follows through on his promises to big business donors, he will ram through immigration reform this year through some trickery.
That would ensure Democrat majorities for the forseeable future.
Never underestimate the stupidity of the uninformed voter. Never.
A person has to stand back and wonder why anybody would vote foe these terrible thugs that have taken over the d’RAT party. The only excuse I can see is they are brainwashed in our schools and MSM. They can no longer think for them selves.
that is not enough, it has to be “defacto extinction” as a party.
Democrats & Republicans should be in prison along with their crony fascists/socialists for bankrupting the republic.
And the worse news is, the GOP-E is promoting Democrats-Lite rather than conservatives.
No one benefits from illegal immigrants more than GOP businessmen.
