‘Miss me yet?’ In one swing state, a clear ‘yes’
No commentary needed, although I have bold-faced a couple of sections. From the blog of Public Policy Polling:
We’ll start rolling out our Ohio poll results tomorrow but there’s one finding on the poll that pretty much sums it up: by a 50-42 margin voters there say they’d rather have George W. Bush in the White House right now than Barack Obama.
Independents hold that view by a 44-37 margin and there are more Democrats who would take Bush back (11%) than there are Republicans who think Obama’s preferable (3%.)
A couple months ago I thought the Pennsylvanias and Missouris and Ohios of the world were the biggest battlegrounds for 2010 but when you see numbers like this it makes you think it’s probably actually the Californias and the Wisconsins and the Washingtons.
There’s not much doubt things are getting worse for Democrats…and they were already pretty bad. Somehow the party base needs to get reinvigorated over the next two months or there’s going to be a very, very steep price to pay.

“…a majority of people in Ohio think things are worse now. Which should tell you something about how many people disagree with you Obama cheerleaders…”
A majority of people in Ohio should consider how truly horrible things would have become if the Republicans had their way.
Responding to the cheerleading remark, you’re projecting again Kyle. Unlike hero worshiping ditto-heads (their term, not mine), I take positions on policies and then support politicians who are more likely to execute them. Compare that with the groupthink crowd on the right who are persuaded primarily by imagery and platitudes that actually contradict the hidden agendas of those spewing them.

“A majority of people in Ohio should consider how truly horrible things would have become if the Republicans had their way.’
That stupid statement makes no sense whatsoever. That’s like saying John Edwards would cure cancer if he won the White House. His words by the way.
