Man, how it sucks to be a democrat.

The fish rots from the head down, and lately, it looks like the stench permeates all the way to the trenches as the worst polling for the dems in over 20 years shows they are in desperate straights.

Like the blind squirrel stumbling over an acorn, the GOP looks to have the opportunity to smash the leftists this November.  But it looked that way in 2012 and they blew it.

I'm not altogether convinced that this is going to be that much different... but the signs are there.  And it's happening all without the mass-caving GOP hysterics started sniveling about the day after the 2012 general.

Gee.  Imagine that.

This Just Might Be The Worst Poll Yet For Democrats

The Republican Party is at its strongest point in two decades heading into midterm elections, according to a new Pew Research-USA Today poll, the latest daunting sign for Democrats ahead of campaign season.
The GOP is at an even stronger point than in previous "wave" elections in 1994 and 2010 and looks poised to make major gains — and possibly take control of the U.S. Senate.
According to the poll, out Monday, Republicans have a 47-43 lead on the generic congressional ballot. That's a 10-point swing from October, when Democrats, boosted by GOP blame for the federal government shutdown, held a 6-point lead in the Pew poll.
Overall, Democrats are plagued by the still-sluggish economy, the unpopularity of the Affordable Care Act, and the undesirable views of President Obama. More voters (26%) say their vote will be "against" the president. Only 16% say their vote will be "for" Obama. And by more than a 2-to-1 margin, voters say they want the next president to pursue policies different from the Obama administration's priorities.
As has been seen in other polls showing trouble for Democrats this year, the party is hampered by a lack of enthusiasm. For example, only 31% of Democratic voters say their vote is "for" Obama. In 2010, that number was 47%.
Some of the other troubling signs for Democrats:

• Obama's approval rating sits at 44%, compared with 50% who disapprove.
• Although last Friday's jobs report showed the unemployment rate dropping to its lowest level since 2008, most people (65%) say jobs are still difficult to find. And while 25% of voters think the economy will get better next year, about an equal number think it'll get worse.
• The percentage of voters who disapprove of the Affordable Care Act (55%) is still tied for the highest in the law's history.
