Definitely Voter's Remorse

Ooh, this one's gotta' sting (emphasis mine):

Democrats can't blame this one on Rasmussen.  The National Journal polled 1200 adults nationwide to determine whether they would vote for Barack Obama's re-election based on his first-year performance.  In a stunner, 50% said they'd vote for "someone else," while only 23% said they would definitely vote for Obama:

A year into his tenure, a majority of Americans would already vote against Pres. Obama if the '12 elections were held today, according to a new survey.

The Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll shows 50% say they would probably or definitely vote for someone else. Fully 37% say they would definitely cast a ballot against Obama. Meanwhile, just 39% would vote to re-elect the pres. to a 2nd term, and only 23% say they definitely would do so. …

But as GOPers focus on taxes and spending, that message seems to be causing Obama the most harm. Among those who believe Obama's policies have moved the country in the wrong direction, 45% cite spending and government regulation as a top cause for their opposition.

Unfortunately for us, an ideologue like Obama doesn't care about the polls.  He must be stopped.

But there's more doom for Dems in this poll:

After a year of single-party governance, Americans have grown very disenchanted.  In April of last year, 47% of respondents thought the country was moving in the right direction, against 42% who thought it was going off the rails.  Now, 55% think the country is moving in the wrong direction, and only 34% think otherwise.  Since only Democrats have been doing the driving, that gives a strong indication that they may find themselves replaced at the wheel at the next opportunity.

We may soon be asking how the hope-n-change worked out for Congressional Democrats even more than the country at large.  I suspect they won't like the answer, though the country will be much better off.  Too bad so many of them followed their Pied Piper off the cliff.  Serves 'em right.  Now it's up to the American voter to fix what they broke.

There's my two cents.
