The story:
It’s really looking like a brutal year for Democrats in the Big Ten states.
Barack Obama’s approval numbers in the two places we polled this week- Wisconsin and Ohio- tell the story. He won Wisconsin by 14 points in 2008 but we find his approval there at a net -2 (46/48) for a 16 point drop since the election. It’s a similar story in Ohio. He won there by four points in 2008 but our approval numbers there for him tomorrow will show him at -13 (40/53) for a drop of 17 points. If his national approval rating was falling the way it is in these two states he’d be at about 43/53 for the whole country.
If the election was today Democrats would likely lose something they currently hold in every state where they have something to lose- Pennsylvania Governor and perhaps Senate, Michigan Governor, Ohio Governor, Indiana Senate, Iowa Governor, Wisconsin Governor and perhaps Senate, and Illinois Senate and/or Governor. Only Minnesota doesn’t join the party because Democrats have nothing to lose there.
Its still a long way from election day and the Democrats and their MSM stooges will pull out all the stops – short of outright murder, we have to expect them to use every trick, fair and foul, which can be imagined.
Clearly, though, the times have changed – and in spite of Democrat talking points, once you’ve become unpopular it is very difficult to return to popularity. The real Democrat strategy is to throw out so much muck that people get disgusted – low turnout is the Democrats only hope of holding their losses to the mid-term usual.
Our job is to focus on a couple core issues and just relentlessly hammer home on them. My choice is the debt and the Democrat Culture of Corruption, as they are two sides of the same coin – they spend money like this because they need to payoff those who back them…its a cycle of corruption which ensures that spending will ever increase because once you start bribing someone, you have to keep doing it. As debt piles on debt and more and more of the Democrats’ corruption comes to the surface, we’ll have the narrative we need to beat back all Democrat attempts to change the subject.
We are in a position to score a big victory in November and follow it up with an even bigger one in 2012 – we have to keep our spirits up, never get mad and be relentless. We do this, we’ll be able to rescue our beloved country from the liberals who would destroy it.
UPDATE: Barone crunches some numbers for Illinois House Democrats and it ain’t a pretty picture for the Obamatons.
