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, "Im 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."

Already playing the “angry white male” card... led by Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann...

I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it any more!.................
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.
If they keep pushing, Hussein and the dims might find out just how angry the white males can get!
It’ll be the year of angry freedom and liberty loving Americans. Anybody with half a brain should be royally pissed and scared out of their skulls!
Sheesh, I never went away.
Angry white male? Geeze! No racism here, folks! ( /s)
From USA Today,
1994:
ANGRY WHITE MEN // Their votes turn the tide for GOP // `Men want to torch’ Washington
The founding stock who lost 99% all war dead in this nation are now being demonized.
I hate Liberals and their lying media shills.
The Liberals have a deck of 52 cards to play with and every last one of them is the race card.
Is this a suggestion that black people are satisfied with the performance of Obamao?
I doubt it!
me neither....only more so
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.
Exactly, all those angry white males being led on by Sarah and Michelle....LOL! The idiocy of the left is mind boggling.
Angry and armed white male.
Angry white unemployed male.
Angry white overtaxed male.
Angry white overregulated male.
Yawn....this is so “1994”.
My sweet wife, (normally) is angrier than I am.
More “Angry white male” voters?
Or less “Making History” voters from 2008?
