RE: What is the gist of the article? Which Party and why?
Two things that matter most:
1) Obama’s job approval and
2) the direction of the country, measured by whether voters think we’re on the right track or the wrong track.
Thanks.
Other pundits have recently been keying in on the Presidential job approval rating as an indicator.
I think it reflects the Dems looking for the right metrics for best spending their money.
Ideally, they want to balance forcing as much of the unpopular leftist agenda down the public’s throat, while still being able to squeak out electoral victories.
Perhaps they might back off jamming the agenda toward the end of 2016, to move that approval rating temporarily over 50%.
