Looks like the Democrats they keep electing have served Michigan well, no?

The problem with MIchiganders is that, they don't know to think any different. They're stuck on stupid. Given an unemployment rate of between 15 and 20%, the people of Michigan would still vote for democrats for congress and a democrat president.

I heard last night, on one of the talk/discussion shows (on FOX) that, even with the high unemployment rate, Obama still has a high approval rate of over 60%. The people there are completely clueless about there being better hope and better change if they would just learn how to get rid of their ideological jail and look to something different to help solve their problems.

Not true. Poll aggregators like RCP have him at 56.5 to 37 and that includes many polls of ‘adults.’

The better polls like Rasmussen, that poll likely voters, show Obama’s strong favorables in negative - but quite a bit and the trend is downward.

In another aggregator even the CBS poll showed drops of 6% and disapproves rising 6%:

Look at the trends...all downward drafts for dear leader.
