They peaked too soon. Like yesterday. I guess.
LOL.
NYT/CBS News Poll: Super ugly for Democrats
According to a
newly-released New York Times/CBS News poll, Democrats may be in even bigger trouble than
originally thought - as the mid terms approach.
The poll, taken September 12-15, shows that Obama and Democrats could be in for a repeat
"shellacking" this November.
Obama's overall job approval still stands at 40%. CBS notes that his is "5 points lower than it was heading into the 2010 congressional elections, when Republicans won control of the House of Representatives."
On ISIS, almost 60% feel Obama is not "being tough enough." The president's approval rating on foreign policy sits at an abysmal 34%.
And on nearly every major issue, important to the voters, Republicans lead Democrats.
By double digits.
On terrorism, the GOP is up a whopping 21 points, 52-31.
On the economy, Republicans hold an 11 point lead, 49-38.
On foreign policy, it's Republicans, again by double digits, 49-37.
Even on the generic ballot, it's the GOP, 45-39 - a six point spread.
The GOP also hold a double digit lead on the enthusiasm factor - Republicans 45, Independents 36, Democrats 33.
And that much talked about
gender gap? This even portends badly for Democrats.
Republicans lead with men by 14 points, 49-35. While Democrats cling to a one point lead, 43-42, with women.
The Independent vote is also going the GOP's way, by a healthy 40 to 31 percent margin.
Relative to geography, Republicans take the 'suburban' (49-38) and 'rural' (55-32) voters. While Democrats pick up support from urban voters, 46-33.
Etc.
Now. Did you take all that in?
Because here's how the WH reporter from the NY Times, Julie Davis, tried to spin her own poll, on Twitter.
Yep. "Rs worse than Ds."
Now that's funny.
