Rand Paul (R) Up Big by 15% Over Jack Conway (D) in New Courier-Journal Bluegrass/WHAS-TV Poll

Democrats say, can’t be, No Tea Party candidate can have a 15% point lead over a Democrat …

According to a new Courier-Journal Bluegrass/WHAS-TV poll, Republican and Tea Party favorite Rand Paul is up by 15% over Democrat candidate Jack Conway in the Kentucky US Senate race.  The poll has Rand Paul ahead 55% to 40%. Conway’s people are disputing the poll.

Although, the Democrats got their one shot to attack Rand Paul initially. The Blue Grass state is a “red” state and the closer they get to the midterm elections, the more voters will turn away from Democrats and the Obama party in control. The Kentucky US Senate seat will prove to be a red herring for Democrats, much like Alaska. States where Republicans have over or near 50% of the vote, Democrats are targeting as potential pickups. This is how desperate Democrats are in 2010.  Look for the Kentucky US Senate race to be a “cash cow” for Democrats not a “donkey”
come November 2, 2010.

Full poll results HERE.

With just under two months until Kentucky’s U.S. Senate election, a new WHAS11/Courier-Journal Bluegrass Poll shows Republican Rand Paul nearly doubling his lead in the last month, now up 15 points over Democrat Jack Conway, 55% to 40%. Since last month, Paul is up 4 points; Conway is down 3.

The poll, conducted by Survey USA, also indicates that Kentucky voters are increasingly identifying themselves as Republican or Independent while identifying less with the Democratic Party.  The disproportionate representation compared to actual voter registration and previous voter turnout prompted the Conway campaign to dispute the poll.

Labor Day Weekend 2010: Barack Hussein Obama at All-Time High, Umm Low, -23% Presidential Approval Index

-23% Presidential Approval Index … and sinking! How’s that “Hope, Changey” stuff working out for you America?

As President Obama has failed to restore jobs in his Obama Summer of Job Recovery, this Labor Day Weekend Barack Hussein Obama has hit an all-time high, or low as the case may be, in the Rasmussen Presidential Approval Index at -23%. Overall, 42% of voters say they approve of the president’s job performance, while 57% disapprove.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 24% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-seven percent (47%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -23 (see trends).

That’s the highest level of Strong Disapproval and the lowest Approval Index daily rating yet recorded for this president. However, while the daily ratings are sometime volatile, a Month-by-Month review of the president’s numbers continues to show a high degree of stability. On a full-month basis, the Presidential Approval Index has stayed between -14 and -17 for eight of the past nine months.

Less than 60 days before the 2010 midterm elections and President Obama’s numbers are tanking. The One looks to talk to the American people next week and explain a new jobs program to spur the economy. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. This President has had 19 months to get the economy headed in the right direction and lower unemployment. He has not! Obama’s talks a good game, but the American people out of work are tired of speeches, they want results.

When Obama was infatuated and fixed on Obamacare, Cap & Tax Trade and suing Arizona over illegal immigration, he should have been focused on the economy and jobs. HE WAS NOT. If the President had spent less time on vacation and golfing, rather than focused on jobs and the economy, maybe the American people would actually care what he has to say. Honestly, We the People, from all walks of life, young (young voters), old, independents and Hispanics have run away from this Administration, and rightfully so. Obama has become the “toxic” President and will be as scarce in the 2010 elections for Democrats as Biden has been for the Obama WH.

There is a reason why many Americans will just being saying “NOBAMA” in 2012.

Washington Senate Election 2010: Dino Rossi (R) 48% Leads Patty Murray (D) 46%

Washington state is in play for US Senate seat …

More troubles for Democrats in the up coming 2010 midterm elections. Washington state not only is in play, Republican challenger Dino Rossi now leads incumbent Democrat Patty Murray in for the US Senate race in the most recent Rasmussen poll. Rossi leads Murray 48% to 46%.

In Washington State, the U.S. Senate race remains one of the closest in the country.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state shows Republican challenger Dino Rossi attracting 48% of the vote while Democratic Senator Patty Murray earns support from 46%. Three percent (3%) prefer a different candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided.

…

Murray picks up 87% of the Democratic vote whileRossi gets support from 89% of Republican voters. The GOP hopeful also has a significant edge among the state’s unaffiliated voters.

Real Clear Politics average polling has Republican Rossi up by 2.3%.

Why should Patty Murray and Democrats fear losing the US Senate seat in Washington state? Even in a blue state like Washington, the voters want change and it has nothing to do with Obama’s hope & change.

Just 28% say their own representative in Congress is the best person for the job. By a 44% to 40% margin, Washington voters say their own representative does not deserve re-election.

Forty-eight percent (48%) approve of President Obama’s job performance.

First Lady Michelle Obama Warned Against Lavish Spanish Vacation … the Result, a PR and Image Polling Nightmare

King and Queen Obama are both out of touch with America and do not care … “Let the peasants eat cake.”

Michelle Obama was warned by aides against going to Spain and having a lavish vacation in the lap of luxury while back home common folk faced a nearly 10% unemployment rate and millions were unemployed. Her answer to the warnings, who cares, don’t you know who I am. Michelle Obama showed a complete disregard for the plight that the “common folk” were going through and now wonders why her carefully manufactured image is now tarnished and beyond repair. Michelle Obama finds her popularity poll numbers on the same path of President Obama, going south fast.

The New York Times reports First Lady Michelle Obama’s aides cautioned against her going on the early August European vacation in which she stayed at a 5-star resort in Spain and mingled with royalty. The lavish trip, the aides reportedly argued, could result in harm to her image. “Aides say privately that they warned her there would be a cost to the trip, but she overruled them, insisting it was a rare chance to spend time with Sasha and with a friend whose father had died,” the paper reports. “But the intensity of the uproar — including accusations that she was a ‘modern-day Marie Antoinette’ — caught the White House and Mrs. Obama off guard.”

Gallup Poll: Americans Give Republicans Advantage Over Democrats on Economy, Immigration, Terrorism and Federal Spending

The Democrats have fallen and they can’t get up.

Less than two months before the 2010 midterm elections and according to a Gallup poll, American voters give Republicans the advantage over Democrats on the number one issue of the day, the economy. Americans rated the economy as the the most extremely important issue at 62% and 31% very important while 60% rated jobs extremely important and 32% rated very important. Both of the top two issues the voters rated Republicans over Democrats. With continued failed jobs reports and the Obama Summer of non-Recovery, matters will only get worse for Democrats.

A new USA Today/Gallup poll finds Americans saying the Republicans in Congress would do a better job than the Democrats in Congress of handling seven of nine key election issues. The parties are essentially tied on healthcare, with the environment being the lone Democratic strength.

The last Rasmussen poll showed that Republicans were trusted over Democrats on all of the top 10 issues of the day.

Once Again Obama Shows No Eye for Detail … Obama’s Oval Office Rug, a Martin Luther King Jr Misquote

Can President Barack Hussein Obama get anything right? Health care, illegal immigration, economy and now rugs.

Amateur hour continues in the White House …

We have been told that Barack Hussein Obama is the smartest President ever. Yet, some hoe he can’t even get a quote correct on a rug. No wonder he is a complete and utter failure when it comes to the economy. It would appear that the new rug that Obama had made for the Oval Office has the quote, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

 However, according media reports, this quote keeping Obama company on his wheat-colored carpet is from King. There is just one thing wrong, the smartest President ever got it wrong. The quote is not from Martin Luther King Jr., it is from , Theodore Parker. Smartest President, inded.

The misattributed rug quote is just a microcosm of the Obama Administration, one colossal screw up after another.

A mistake has been made in the Oval Office makeover that goes beyond the beige.

President Obama’s new presidential rug seemed beyond reproach, with quotations from Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. woven along its curved edge.

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” According media reports, this quote keeping Obama company on his wheat-colored carpet is from King.

Except it’s not a King quote. The words belong to a long-gone Bostonian champion of social progress. His roots in the republic ran so deep that his grandfather commanded the Minutemen at the Battle of Lexington.

It would appear that “rug burn” did not just occur in the Clinton White House, but the Obama one as well.  You really have to begin to question that lack of focus, lack of knowledge and lack of detail; to attention from this President. Is it any wonder why so many now look at Obama as an abject failure.

As stated by The American Thinker, why is anyone to believe that Obama is so smart …. because a bunch of lackeys in the MSM said so?

The error perfectly encapsulates the shallowness of Barack Obama’s intellect, and his lack of rigor. Obama is a man who accumulated academic credentials while giving no evidence whatsoever of achieving any depth. He was the only president of the Harvard Law Review to graduate without penning a signed article in that esteemed journal. His academic transcripts remain under lock and key, as do his academic papers.

For the sort of people like David Brooks of the New York Times, who are impressed by fancy degrees and a sharp crease in the trousers, Obama may appear to be the smartest ever occupant of the Oval Office. But, as the old joke goes, deep down, he is shallow. Underfoot, literally, there is woven into his background a prominent vein of phoniness.

Barack Obama … Less Than 60 Days from Midterm Elections and “The One” has a -21% Presidential Approval Index Rating

Why did anyone think a Socialist could create jobs?

Barack Hussein Obama is a total and complete disaster as President and the voters know it. With the 2010 midterm elections right around the corner, Obama has a -21% Presidential Approval Index Rating according to Rasmussen. Only 42% of voters approve of the job that Obama has done, while 56% disapprove.

Why are Obama’s numbers so poor … he earned them.

• The unemployment rate is up to 9.6%.
• Obama’s fabled Summer of job recovery has lost 283,000 jobs.
• Record number of Americans on food stamps.
• Record federal deficits
• Defying We the People and pushing Obamacare down the throats of Americans.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 24% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-five percent (45%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 (see trends).

Americans have grown weary of this deceitful President. Just before Labor Day weekend, poor job numbers are released and Barack Hussein Obama does a “happy, happy, joy, joy” dance about some silver lining but doesn’t mention there was a net job loss of 54K.

Today the president refrained from mentioning the net job loss of 54,000 jobs, or ever that August brought a net job loss. He said that the 67,000 private sector jobs created were “not nearly good enough” and said he would “in the weeks ahead” be detailing “further steps to create jobs and keep the economy growing, including extending tax cuts for the middle class and investing in the areas of our economy where the potential for job growth is greatest.”

 The upcoming 2010 midterm elections are going to be all about the economy and Obama’s policies. Obama has had two years and has made matters worse. Both unemployment and spending have increased under Obama … the Democrats will feel the voters wrath on November 2.

Rut-Roh Obama & Dems, Fewer Young Voters See Themselves as Democrats

Even college age kids turning against Democrats?

Less than two short years ago following the 2008 Presidential election of Barack Hussein Obama, every one stated that the Republican party was finished, had no hope and no future. It would appear that the reports of the demise of the Republicans were a bit premature.

Enter Barack Obama, his socialist czars, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, $787 billion stimulus, Obama Care, record federal deficits, out of control spending and the most radical White House in the history of the United States. According to a NY Times article, now even college age kids are turning against Obama and Democrats.

The college vote is up for grabs this year — to an extent that would have seemed unlikely two years ago, when a generation of young people seemed to swoon over Barack Obama.

Though many students are liberals on social issues, the economic reality of a weak job market has taken a toll on their loyalties: far fewer 18- to 29-year-olds now identify themselves as Democrats compared with 2008.

“Is the recession, which is hitting young people very hard, doing lasting or permanent damage to what looked like a good Democratic advantage with this age group?” asked Scott Keeter, the director of survey research at the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan group. “The jury is still out.” 

What a reversal of fortune for Democrats. Is the youuth vote leaving the Democrats, or will they merely just stay home?

As stated by the Gay Patriot,  it “seems the surge in support among young people for Obama was based more on his personality and the imagery of his campaign than on the candidate’s (carefully concealed*) ideology”.

This is why it is important to know your candidate, not just get caught up in an image and catch phrase of “Hope & Change”. The youth appears to be paying more attention to Obama and his policies and how they directly affect them. It is they that will be paying for his ridiculous spending programs. I guess they missed that fact when they were voting for him in 2008.

For the record turn out and people that Obama reached in 2008 … 2012 seems like it will pale in comparison. The likihood that Obama will be a one term President seems more and more certain every day.

The Obama Job Recovery Summer … Unemployment Rises to 9.6%

Oh that Obama Summer Job Recovery … How’s that “Hopey, Changey” thing working out for you America as we head into Labor Day weekend?

The Obama economy continues to go in the wrong direction as unemplyment rises to 9.6%. Does Barack Obama and Joe Biden still think think the economy is headed in the right direction? What political economic nonsense will Obama unleash on us after these job numbers … another stimulus plan under the guise of tax incentives? What ever Obama says, it will be for political cover only as Democrats face an electoral tsunami in less than two short months.

Job losses continued to mount in the U.S. economy last month, though at a more modest pace than expected, putting further pressure on policy makers to take action to spur growth and employment.

Nonfarm payrolls fell by 54,000 last month, matching the level of revised losses recorded the previous month, the U.S. Labor Department said Friday. The revision in July layoffs to 54,000 followed an original estimate of a 131,000 drop in payrolls.

The U.S. economy has shed jobs for three straight months, though the losses in August were about half the 110,000 predicted by economists in a Dow Jones Newswires survey.

The unemployment rate, calculated using a separate household survey, edged up to 9.6%, as expected, after holding at 9.5% for previous two months.

Water Seeks It’s Own Level … Key Obama Ally Richard Trumaka AFL-CIO Chief Works With European Socialists For Global Tax

Remember when Obama said during the 2008 Presidential campaign,  ”Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself.” 

Well water seeks its own level and this Administration is the most radical ever. As reported at The Blaze, Barack Hussein Obama’s key all Richard Trumaka, AFL-CIO chief, work with European socialists for global tax.

Just yets once again as we are reminded by Hot Air Pundit, one in a long line of radical socialist that this President associates himself with, can you say Van Jones? (VIDEO)

The American people are finally judging Obama after the fact by the people he has surrounded himsl;ef with and his policies. That can explain why his poll numbers have collapsed and Democrats are poised to lose the House and the Senate this 2010 midterm election. This is hardly the “Hope & Change” that America bargained for.
