Poll: Obama And Congressional Dems Dropping — Among Democrats

Nearly everyone seems to agree that President Obama is bleeding liberal support over his overly conciliatory approach to the GOP on health care reform and his apparent softening of support for the public option.

But is it true?

Yep, it certainly may be true, if you believe the new Research 2000 poll for DailyKos. The survey finds a surprisingly sharp drop in the favorability ratings of Obama and Congressional Dems — among Democrats.

Here are the net favorability ratings for Obama — i.e., the difference between the favorable and unfavorable ratings — broken down by party and compared with the previous week:

DEMOCRATS: +72 (+78)
REPUBLICANS: - 86 (- 84)
INDEPENDENTS: +35 (+39)

And here are the net favorability ratings for Congressional Dems, broken down by party and compared with the previous week:

DEMOCRATS: +55 (+65)
REPUBLICANS: - 90 (- 90)
INDEPENDENTS: - 20 (- 15)

A six point drop in the net fave rating among Dems for Obama; a ten point drop among Dems for Congressional Dems. Pretty telling.

Today everyone is talking about the new WaPo poll finding real slippage for Obama on health care and general trust. I’m trying to get a partisan breakdown of those numbers to see if they, too, confirm the above trend. Should be interesting. Will keep you posted.

So. Quit worrying about the polls. Obama is slipping among his BASE! Obama is slipping because WE WANT CHANGE! Obama is slipping because he's being NICE TO THE REPUBLICANS!

The MSM lies. "It's the independants".. NOT

The MSM told this very same LIE about the polls last year. When the Dems in congress poll numbers went down because THEY DIDN'T STAND UP TO BUSH!

The MSM liars said it was the independants NOT!

The minute they stood up the the republicans they're numbers went back up and they won the election.

NOW they need to do the same thing.

STOP listening to the MSM they are NOT your friends.

Get a big Republican be good stick and beat them to death!

street.

I think the refusal to give single payer a seat at the table and then the obvious running away for the public option is what has hurt the Congressional Dems and Obama.
