ObamaCare disapproval is up to 61% in the latest CBS poll.....
President Obama isn't the only one tanking in the polls. While a new CBS poll out today does show Obama dipping to an all-time low 37% approval rating, state polling out of Colorado and Michigan shows the damage is spreading to Democrats down ballot as well.
In Michigan, a new Lambert, Edwards & Associates and Denno Research poll shows Democrat Representative Gary Peters holding a narrow one-point advantage over Republican former two-term Michigan secretary of state Terri Lynn Land. Just last month, and Inside Michigan Politics poll showed Peters up by five. Democrats have controlled both U.S. Senate seats for fourteen years.
The results are even more dramatic in Colorado, where Senator Mark Udall was up on Republican District Attorney Ken Buck by fifteen points just last month. Now, a new Quinnipiac University poll shows Udall up by just three. And voters tell Quinnipiac, by a 47% to 41% margin, that Udall does not deserve reelection.
Republicans need to pick up just six seats to take control of the Senate in 2014. They already have strong leads in the currently Democratic-held states of Montana, South Dakota, and West Virginia.
Before the ObamaCare debacle, Republicans were looking to pick up the other three seats by focusing on four incumbent Democrats in states won by Mitt Romney: Mark Begich in Alaska, Mark Pryor in Arkansas, Mary Landrieu in Louisiana, and Kay Hagan in North Carolina.
But now that the nation is turning strongly against Obama and the Democrats, Republicans are expanding the map, and are now looking at possible pick ups in Michigan, Oregon, New Hampshire, and maybe even Colorado.
What goes around, comes around; just desserts; poetic justice; "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall". Pick your cliché, or substitute one of your own - the underlying idea is indelible and undeniable: This is the perfect mirror bookend with the Democrat Financial Logic Bomb of 2008 that collapsed the financial sector, devastated the economy, and put Barack Obama in the White House. Now, via ObamaCare, they tried to collapse the private health insurance market, but this time they got caught, and now O and his party are collapsing even faster than their intended victim.
The difference? Markets can recover; the Democrats and their clay-footed idol will not.
