Democratic Party Image Drops to Record LowAmericans' favorable rating of the Democratic Party dropped to 41% in a late March USA Today/Gallup poll, the lowest point in the 18-year history of this measure. Favorable impressions of the Republican Party are now at 42%, thus closing the gap between the two parties' images that has prevailed for the past four years.
Gallup poll put Democratic Party at 18-year low - MarketWatch 's Election Blog - MarketWatchSo far, however, the bitter battle over the health-care law appears to have weakened the standing of the Democrats, at least according to a recent CBS poll. The party was already faring poorly in the polls because of the weak economy and a high unemployment rate.
The upcoming midterm elections will feature the angriest electorate in at least two decades, according to a new Gallup Poll, an ominous sign for the Democratic Party as it attempts to retain control of Congress.
The poll shows that only 49 percent of voters would vote to reelect their own member of Congress, with 40 percent saying they don’t deserve to be reelected. Those are the worst numbers for incumbents in the 18 years that Gallup has asked that question including the period prior to the historic 1994 Republican sweep, and the 2006 midterms when Democrats regained control of Congress.
A whopping 65 percent of respondents also said that most members of Congress, in general, don’t deserve to be reelected — by far the highest number in the last 18 years.

There are several months until the election, but this is very bad news for Democrats.
The dems are so screwed........ :mrgreen:
Oh man our majority is going to drop from 59 to 53/54 in the Senate. Totally screwed.
Wait until 2012 though :mrgreen: This just shows that America is unhappy with a Dem majority and it's going to end at the next chance it gets. Who knows, maybe the Dems will lose more in the Senate our House than expected. As it seems most of the important recent races have been won by Republicans in very liberal states (MA electing Brown, NJ electing Christie, and so on).
2012? When the economy should be in good shape? I would not get too confident about 2012.
The way Obama and the dems ignore the economy for health care and cap and tax it will still be a recession in 2012
I hope it doesn't settle down anytime soon. My new third party was going to debut next year.
You haven't by chance noticed the increase in oil prices lately? Think they will drop soon?
Just because people don't like Democrats doesn't mean people like Republicans.
If I were a major third party, I'd do EVERYTHING I could to get some air time on tv, youtube, and news outlets to provide alternatives to the Dems and GOP. This is probably the best time since the Civil War or the Bull Moose Party for a new political party to emerge and make a force of itself. The only way this can happen, though, is if they become vocal enough to get heard in today's politically charged climate before things calm down enough.

State socialist arent much better than National Socialists.
Its called the season of summer with a combination of devaluation of the dollar.
IT looks like a sweep for the mid term election; because of the aparant lack of
accountability to the electorate.
Media Matters, CNN, and NBC polls always swing Democrat, real polls show an ass whipping for dems in November, thanks for playing.polls show maybe 5 seats going to the GOP
(in the Senate anyway)
