Rasmussen Reports™: The Most Comprehensive Public Opinion Site. (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/congressional_ballot/generic_congressional_ballot - broken link)
Maddow is entitled to the opinion parent company GE tells her to have. But she has one vote, just like me. The trend is against the Democrats and Obama. Exactly how long did you think campaign slogans like "Yes, I can", "change" and "hope" would be considered an adequate substitution for integrity and competency in office?
Last I heard the democrats were going down with the same flush.
Not so, my friend. Their approval ratings are well over double the Republicans and increasing. The American people have seen the Republican obstructionism & do nothing attitude and decided they don't like it.
Umm.....thats what the losing or minority party does...they obstruct or oppose the majority party. Democrats were doing it to Bush from 2001-2006.
Not like this just 5 years ago the Republicans were whining about Democrats using 30 odd filibusters to block Republican legislation while the GOP upped it to almost 130 odd filibusters/filibuster like moves the year they became the minority. They've not just doubled down on the obstructionism but done it over 400% more. Republicans have really became the party of "No"; no matter what is on the table.

It is nothing new, yet people act like the concept was just invented last month.
The IMPORTANT point about obstructionism is WHAT is obstructed.
The Repblicans ALWAYS obstruct anything that would help the average American.
