"The poll numbers don't look good for Obama and the Democrats."

A lot of that is because nothing was getting done. That has changed. Plus, the trend has been in their direction.

"Hoping for an economic recovery to lift your poll numbers is a poor political strategy."

That is not required, although it would seal the deal.

As Frum pointed out, the Republicans were playing for all the marbles. And they lost. I think the Tea Partiers are going to be incensed and that will result in the few moderate Republicans to be replaced by more extreme candidates. Who will have more difficulty beating Democrats. Now if the Republican candidates go into 'stealth mode' and run as something other than a Republican, like Brown did, they might have a chance. Not a great one because they will have to depend on their opponents allowing them to do that.

Of course, if we double dip on the recession, or the job market doesn't improve, that would be trouble for the Democrats.
