And this could actually get worse – via NRO:
Americans are extremely displeased with Congress, and there are already some signs that this could take a toll on the Democrats in the 2010 midterm elections. Currently, 37% express a favorable opinion of Congress, while 52% hold an unfavorable view. Positive opinions of Congress have declined by 13 points since April and are now at one of their lowest points in more than two decades of Pew Research Center surveys.
At the same time, intentions to vote Democratic in the next midterm election are markedly lower than they have been over the past four years. Voters are about evenly divided when asked how they would vote if the election for Congress were being held today: 45% say they would vote for a Democratic candidate in their district, or lean Democratic, while 44% say they would vote for a Republican or lean Republican. At about this point four years ago, Democrats led in the generic congressional ballot by 52% to 40% and went on to win a majority of the popular vote and regain control of Congress the following November.
Now, don’t any GOPers out there start breaking out the champagne – the GOP is gaining, but not that much because people are pretty disgusted with both parties, at the moment. What people should take away from this – as well as other polls also showing a complete collapse of support for Congress and those who run our government – is that a revolution is brewing out there. People really are mad as heck, and really aren’t going to take it any more.
If you ever had a thought of running for office – whatever office – then in 2010 you should do so. Even you liberals – unless you want to say that Pelosi and Boxer are the best you’ve got. It is time – the iron is hot: strike! Our future is to be decided in 2010 – and it will be your choice which decides it.
The whole, rotten edifice of modern, American government – built up since Woodrow Wilson took us to war and only slowed down a bit by Ronald Reagan and a few others – is crumbling. It has shot its bolt – its course of lies, funny money and usury; the magicians bag of tricks; is all played out. We can take the whole government back – if we just try.
