Pollster: 2010 could be year of 'the angry white male' heading into elections By Sean J. Miller - 12/16/09 03:20 PM ET

2010 could be the year of the “angry white male” as Americans are anxious about the state of the economy, according Republican pollster Ed Goeas.

Citing results from a new bipartisan survey released on Wednesday that found more men than women are struggling to find work, Goeas said, “There is the potential for this being a 1994 year of the angry white male."

Republicans captured control of both the House and Senate in the 1994 elections.

Of the 1,000 likely voters surveyed Dec. 6-9 in The George Washington University Battleground Poll conducted by the Tarrance Group and Lake Research Partners, 20 percent described themselves as "angry" about "the way things are going in the country today."

While only 5 percent of Democrats feel that way, 26 percent of Independents and 33 percent of Republicans described themselves as angry. Moreover, 35 percent of respondents said the country is in recession and 56 percent said it is on the wrong track.

Looking ahead to the 2010 elections, Goeas said, "I’m certainly going to say this is good news for Republicans.”

Citing voters' main issue in the survey, Democratic pollster Celinda Lake said, "It's still the economy."

The new poll was released at a breakfast briefing sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.

“There have been some really dramatic demographic changes going on in the country, when you see, for example, women holding more jobs than men," Lake said.

That's a “a real key change in terms of the economy," Lake added.

Pointing to a 13-point lead that Republicans enjoy over Democrats in the category of “extremely likely to vote,” Lake acknowledged that “there is a very important enthusiasm gap."

If we don’t have BIG gains in 2010 the Democrats will walk all over us. If there ever was a time to get mad and vote accordingly. This is it.

The Liberals have a deck of 52 cards to play with and every last one of them is the race card.

Most “minorities” that came from countries run by Obama’s intellectual f**k-buddies ( a.k.a. socialists, communists, corporatists, statists, and other collectivist left wing idiots) will also vote against the Democrats and their ilk.

More “Angry white male” voters?
Or less “Making History” voters from 2008?
