"AP-GfK polls show Obama losing independents" by Alan Fram and Trevor Tompson, Associated Press Writers | August 15, 2010
WASHINGTON --Independents who embraced President Barack Obama's call for change in 2008 are ready for a shift again, and that's worrisome news for Democrats....
Yup.
Independents voice especially strong concerns about the economy, with 9 in 10 calling it a top problem and no other issue coming close, the analysis of the AP-GfK polls shows....
That is because they did not ask about the wars.
There's even erosion among minorities. While 8 in 10 voted for Obama, fewer than two-thirds want a Democratic Congress, and 1 in 9 don't care which party controls.
The 1 in 9 are realizing it doesn't matter which branch of the War Party controls Congress.
And NO WAY the Democrats keep the House this fall with those numbers among minorities.
Democrats are also losing further ground with GOP-leaning groups such as white men, married men and people earning over $100,000 a year....
Obama's own image has suffered: 49 percent approve of his job performance in the AP-GfK polls....
Which means it is about half that.
--more--"
Well, that is going to happen when you are the third term of George W. Bush.
