I can only imagine his internals are lower. Rasmussen uses likely voters which still has him +7, but with mushy middle eroding and no improvement in the employment data any time soon, Rahm and the boys are probably sweating it.

Going to be harder to keep those so called “blue-dogs” on the reservation.

I believe that Zero's popularity, or lack thereof, will directly correlate to the unemployment numbers (which continue to rise despite his stimulus). The fact that unemployment numbers always lag a recovery makes it doubly difficult for him. Combine this with a increase in the number of foreclosures and his favorables will come back to reality.

There will come a point in time in the not too distant future when the average joe (the 30 some % who at this time are neither pro or con) will understand that the economic disaster he is witnessing is a result of the policies of Obama’s failed socialism. “I inherited a mess” will not hold water any more. It will be at this point in time that perception will meet reality despite the remonstrations of a sycophantic press corps. The worm will have turned. You are already beginning to see this in polls which show that his personal popularity is way out of kilter with the popularity of his policies. Something has to give.

Why pray tell are Obama and his minions in Congress working a break neck speed to impose socialized medicine and cap and trade? They know that they only have a small window of opportunity to hood wink the average citizen, (a crisis is a terrible thing to waste.) Their “hope” is that they can transformationally “change” government's role in the average citizens life. The over reach is already evident. When people begin to understand the ramifications and costs of socialized medicine and cap and trade they will go down in flames. And the cherry of top of the whole shit sundae will be amnesty.

Good point about the so called “blue-dogs” - are they the same as the “PUMA’s”, in other words don’t hold the collective breathe?

Hopefully the Blue Dogs are going to start foaming at the mouth in fear of 2010. Sadly - ACORN may bail them all out. If this gang of thugs remains in control then Baby Boomers futures and retirements will be well and truly eff’ed.
