Obamanomics: 42% said it made things worse, only 11% say better Don Serber blog Tom Jensen at the liberal Public Policy Polling: “If you want a prism into why Democrats are struggling so much right now, this may sum it up: only 11% of voters across the country say that their economic situation has improved over the last year compared to 42% who think it has become worse. 47% say it’s about the same as it was.” 11%? That is 1 in 9 people. That means 8 in 9 people think spending $787 billion on a stimulus made no difference or made things worse. “If Democrats are going to win this fall there’s going to need to be a large increase in the proportion of voters who feel their economic situation’s improved since Barack Obama took office,” said Dean Debnam, president of Public Policy Polling. “Voters are going to keep ping ponging between the two parties until they feel one of them is really making progress in restoring prosperity.” Ping ponging? No, I think the last year has reminded people of why they voted the liberal agenda out of Washington in 1994. I don’t see a big comeback for Democrats if Republicans gain key governorships and legislatures this year ahead of post-Census redistricting next year. Jensen: “By a 47/42 margin they say it falls on George W. Bush rather than Barack Obama. But asked specifically which party they feel is more culpable they pick the Democrats by a 46/39 margin. That dichotomy shows that Obama’s personal brand is still better than that of his party- and it helps to explain why his campaign appearances for Democratic candidates haven’t done much to push them over the top.” Hmm. Janet Hook and Christi Parsons of the Baltimore Sun have already picked up on that: “As Congress begins picking through President Obama’s vast election year budget, many Democratic incumbents and candidates seem to be finding something they love — to campaign against.” So running against President Obama is how Democrats plan to save their seats. Say what you want about Republicans, they did not do that to President Bush. Of course, It took Bush 6 years to lose all his popularity. The Won? One. blogs.dailymail.com
