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.
NYT/CBS Poll finds both parties deeply unpopular, Rs worse than Ds...but 55% of GOP is voting against Obama in Nov http://t.co/BROx3JftPR— Julie Davis (@juliehdavis) September 17, 2014
Yep. "Rs worse than Ds."
Now that's funny.
