Rudy Giuliani: Will He Run for NY Governor … US Senate for NY … Inquiring Minds Want to Know

RUDY … RUDY … RUDY!!!

Rudy Giuliani, will be or won’t he run for NY Governor or will he instead run for the US Senate seat for New York? What ever his choice may be, you can bet that the former NYC Mayor who became America’s Mayor following September 11 will have a great shot of winning for the GOP.

The rumors are ramped in what will be next in the political career of Rudy Giuliani.

The Daily News is reporting that Rudy has decided against running for NY Governor, but instead will strongly consider running for the US Senate seat instead.

However, it is being reported that by a spokeswoman for Rudy Giuliani that the former New York City mayor has not made up his mind about running for governor next year. Rumors, rumors, rumors. Maybe this bit of polling from Rasmussen might sway Rudy, according to the poll Rudy is far ahead in the Senate race as opposed to a virtual tie for the Governorship against Andrew Cuomo.

Barack Obama Losing the Independents Vote with his Radical LEFT Agenda … Change No One Wanted to Believe In

As Obama’s poll numbers sink, will The One shift right, or march himself, the Democrat Party and America over the cliff? What do the polls show? There is not one critical problem facing the country on which the president has positive ratings. How ya like that “CHANGE” now?

Barack Obama and Democrats are not in trouble in the polls and in the upcoming 2010 and 2012 elections because Republicans are strongly against Obama and his radical agenda. The Obamamessiah and the Democrat party find them self in trouble because INDEPENDENTS are running away from The One and Democrats as fast as they can. The far LEFT, socialist agenda of Obama is hardly what they voted for.

Barack Obama won the Independent vote 52% to 44% over McCain; however, Obama would be hard pressed to get any where near that Independent vote at the present. In the end, Obama by the numbers is poor all the way around.

The economy is the single most important issue to the American public, yet Obama’s answers have done nothing but drive up the federal deficits to record levels, increase unemployment to over 10% and promise nothing but future taxes. 45% of American voters rate Obama’s performance with the economy as poor.  Little by little, the longer Obama is in office, the more “We the People” do not want to hear that it’s GWB’s fault. Obama owns the economy and it is his to fix. That is why he became President. Ultimately, The buck stops with Obama and the childish blame game must come to an end. Man up, or get out.

The WSJ article suggests that with dipping poll numbers and an increasing unemployment number, that Obama would be wise to shift right. However, Obama continues to ignore the will of the people as he forces through his far left agenda in spite of slipping polls.

Yet Even More Bad Polling Numbers for Incembent Democrat Controlled Congress from PEW Research

Democrat Polling Numbers … P. YOU! The PEW Research finds that there is an anti-incumbent sentiment heading into the 2010 midterm elections and Obama continues to flounder on pretty much every issue. This coupled with a recent Gallup poll can only spell trouble for Democrats in 2010.

The mood of America is glum. Two-thirds of the public is dissatisfied with the way things are going in the country. Fully nine-in-ten say that national economic conditions are only fair or poor, and nearly two-thirds describe their own finances that way – the most since the summer of 1992. An increasing proportion of Americans say that the war in Afghanistan is not going well, and a plurality continues to oppose the health care reform proposals in Congress.

As Democrat polling numbers continue to slide, what can be looked at as a contributing factor? Can you say Obamacare and the fact that not just Republicans are against it, but many Independents as well. As stated at Hot Air from the polling data from the PEW poll, Among independents who say they support the Republican in their district, 56 percent are excited to vote next year; among indies who support the local Democrat, it’s 32 percent.

More Concern for Dems: Only 30% Favor One Party Controlling the White House, Senate and House of Representatives

Here is more polling from Scott Rasmussen to cause concern for Barack Obama and the Democrats for the upcoming 2010 midterm and 2012 elections. Only 30% of American voters think it is better for the country to have one party in control of the Presidency, Senate and House of Representatives. Presently, Democrats have control of the WH, Senate and House. The partisan, liberal agenda they are pushing through with unemployment over 10% is causing Americans to ask for another type of CHANGE.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% like the idea of divided government better, with the White House and Congress each being run by a different party. But one-out-of-four voters (25%) aren’t sure which is better.

How disingenuous are Democrats taking this poll as they only reason why 46% of them are saying that the country is better off with one party rule is because they are the ones presently in control. How different their opinion would be if the roles were reversed.

What Democrats Can Expect from Not Listening to We the People … Loss of Congress & Presidency to Republicans

2010 early election polls you can believe in …

DEMOCRATS … Do not say that you were not warned. The polling trend has begun, 2010 represents change we can all believe in as Obama and Democrats have completely misread and overstated their change mandate.

The One, could be One and Done in 2012 … 58% say next President likely Republican

Democrats in Congress and President Obama have not understood the common thread of the fire and anger expressed by “We the People” in town hall meetings and Tea Parties when it comes to taxes, deficits, spending and government take over. It is “We the People” that can hire you and “We the People” can FIRE YOU!

Just so that Barack Obama, Axelrod and the rest of Obama’s spin machine and minions understand what the 2009 year elections means … read it an weep. According to a recent Rasmussen Poll, 58% of American voter say it is at least somewhat likely the next president of the United States will be a Republican. Forgive me President Obama, but that 58% represents a greater mandate than what you were elected with in 2008. It would appear that “We the People” wish to make another change and it does not include you. Forget the fact that Republicans obviously overwhelmingly expect the next President to be Republican, it’s the 60% of unaffiliated voters that The Obamamessiah needs to concern himself with.

Sixty-six percent (66%) of men expect the next president to be a Republican, compared to 52% of women.

Eighty-five percent (85%) of Republicans see a member of their party winning the presidency as likely, including 57% who see it as very likely. Sixty percent (60%) of voters not affiliated with either major party think they’re right, but just 31% of Democrats agree.

Barack Obama finds himself with a Daily Presidential Tracking Poll of -10%. Basically, 40% of American voters strongly disapprove of Obama performing his role as President while only 30% strongly approve.

For those of you in Congress, especially the Blue Dog Democrats and other moderate Democrats who think you are in safe districts, 49% of US voters now say it is at least somewhat likely that Republicans will win control of Congress next year.  What a difference a year makes, eh? Last year after the 2008 elections the Republican party was all but dead and Democrats were dancing in the street. The election of Republican governors in Virginia and New Jersey, both states won easily by Obama in 2008 show that there is a shifting trend to Republicans and that no Democrat House or Senate seat is truly safe.

Why does anyone think that 39 Democrats sided with Republicans against Pelosicare? 31 of them represent districts that voted for John McCain over Barack Obama.

Seventy-three percent (73%) of Republicans think it is likely that their party will regain control of the Senate and the House. Just 55% of Democrats say it’s unlikely. Even more telling is that 31% of Republicans say it is very likely, compared to 12% of Democratic voters who rate it as not at all likely.

A plurality (49%) of voters not affiliated with either party see the GOP returning to the majority in Congress.

Barack Obama’s Presidency in Some Real trouble With Tuesday’s Vote in VA, NJ and NY-23

The hand writing is on the wall … There will be a tremendous backlash come 2010!

Tuesday’s pre-election polling already show that Democrats and Barack Obama face tough sledding in 2010 and 2012. The backlash against Democrats and Incumbents is already being seen. Come 2010, it will be at a fever pitch. The populist outrage of “We the People” is only being provoked by those that would call it a cult.

Barack Obama can make all the claims that he does not watch the polls and they do not matter. If that is the case why is he jetting off once again to New Jersey this weekend to campaign for embattled incumbent Democrat Governor Jon Corzine? NJ is such a blue state that there is no reason on earth that this race should be close. Democrats far our number Republicans in the Garden States, yet Corzine is in the battle of his life. If Jersey voters really want change and relief from the ridiculous taxes, then they will vote for a new Governor. If not, then they can stop complaining and pay for Corzine’s tax increases.

One year ago Barack Obama won the deep blue state of New Jersey by 15% points, 57% to 42%. Presently the NJ Governors race is a dead heat with the Real Clear Politics average showing that Republican Christie as a 1% point advantage. How is this possible in a state that was just won in a landslide by Obama? The fact of the matter is that if a deep blue state is in play for Republicans, Obama and Democrats are in real trouble. Why would a Democrat in a state with so many Democratic registered voters have to out spend his Republican rival $23.6 million on the general election as compared to Republican Chris Christie’s $8.8 million?

The reality is, that the only reason why Corzine is even close in this race is because of Independent candidate Chris Daggett. He is obviously taking votes away from Cristie which prompted Rudy Giuliani to urge Daggett to withdraw.

Daily Commentary - Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 - Anita Dunn Controls the Media?

• Well, that’s what she said. The Obama White House may control some of the media, but not all of it. Is controlling the media the same as controlling the people, though? The 2010 and 2012 elections will be a reminder to all politicians including Barack Obama as to who works for whom.

OUCH: Harris Poll has Barack Obama at 45% Approval Rating (-20 Favorability Gap Among Independents)

The bad polling news continues to come in for President Barack Obama. It appears that Obama’s recent Nobel peace Prize has done little for his approval ratings in the United States. A recent Harris Interactive Poll (full pdf results) has Barack Obama at 45% approval rating. In May 2009 Obama had a 59% – 41% approval ratings. That has all but reversed itself and then some as in four months Obama’s approval ratings are a -14.

H/T: Wake Up America

President Obama may have won the Nobel Peace Prize, but unfortunately, he is not winning accolades from the American public as his job approval rating continues its downward slide. In September, U.S. adults were split almost evenly on the job the President has been doing – 49% gave him positive ratings and 51% gave him negative ratings. This month, the number giving him positive ratings drops to 45% while over half of Americans (55%) give him negative ratings.

These are some of the results of The Harris Poll of 2,293 adults surveyed online between October 5 and 12, 2009 by Harris Interactive.

The approval ratings of the president by Democrats and Republicans are as one would expect with 77% of Democrats giving President Obama positive ratings compared to 14% of Republicans. Independents, however, are more down on the president as 60% give him negative ratings while 40% give him positive marks on his overall job performance.

Making matters worse, 3 in 5 Americans believe the country is heading in the wrong direction. As stated by Wake Up America, the public is dissatisfied with the direction of the country and Obama’s policies … the polls are starting to reflect “We the People” opinion of Obama’s agenda and not the fact that he is a slick Campaigner & Chief.

Hot Air has some more details on the Harrison polling numbers that should be causing much concern with the Obama Administration and those Democrats who wish to put their neck out on the line and vote for any of his socialist agenda like Obamacare and Cap and tax.

As the Harris summary mentions, the only age group Obama wins is the youngest (18-32), and only barely at 51%/49%, and only 10% of these think Obama has done an “excellent” job. He loses the other three age categories by wide margins, from 10 points to 22 points. Most troubling for Obama and Democrats as they close out their first year of single-party control of DC are the independents. Obama has a -20 favorability gap among unaffiliated voters, with only 6% rating him as “excellent” while 28% rate him “poor”.

The real question is just what politician in their right mind, risking political and reelection suicide is going to back the agenda and policies of a President whose poll numbers are in free fall? Less than one year into his Presidency, Barack Obama is going to be hard pressed to force Democrats, especially Blue Dog Democrats to vote for his socialist vision of America. Think these poll numbers are not weighing heavily on those who face reelection in 2010? How about the upcoming 2009 Governor races in New Jersey and Virginia?

American Buyers Remorse: 43% of Voters Say they Would Reelect Barack Obama in 2012

Hope & Change: Barack Obama, here is some job approval polling you can believe in …

You’ve come a long way baby in such a short period of time. Barack Obama won the 2008 Presidential election over John McCain by a 53% to 46% margin. Flash forward to less than one year into Obama’s presidency and in a recent poll only 43% stated that they would reelect The One in 2012. Obama’s actual job approval rating has also fallen to 49%.

It would appear that Obama’s policies and the handling of the economy, health care and Iran have come home to roost as his popularity no longer rules the day.

In what may be the ultimate job rating, 43 percent of voters say that they would vote to re-elect President Obama if the 2012 election were held today, down from 52 percent six months ago, from April 22-23, 2009.

Obama’s job approval rating comes in at 49 percent this week. That’s down just one percentage point from late September, but it marks a new low approval for the president — and the first time the Fox News poll has measured his approval below 50 percent.

Can you say voters buyers remorse! This is not only bad news for Obama, it’s bad news for all Democrat candidates running in elections in 2009 and the midterms in 2010.

Election 2010 Pennsylvania Senate: Republican Pat Toomay Leads Dem Arlan Specter, Poll ‘near fatal’ for Specter

Specter in real trouble in PA … Could the Senate seat go back to being Republican again? Could this election be another commentary on Barack Obama and the far swing to the LEFT?

Republican challenger Pat Toomay still leads incumbent Republican turned Democratic Senator Arlen Specter by 45%–40%. The more the discussion goes on regarding Obamacare and is pushed down the throats of Americans, the worse Specter’s numbers will get.

Forty-six percent (46%) of Pennsylvania voters have a favorable opinion of Specter while 52% offer an unfavorable assessment of the longtime GOP senator who became a Democrat in April rather than face Toomey in a party primary. Those numbers are a few points better than they were in August.

Just 17% have a Very Favorable opinion of Specter while 37% hold a Very Unfavorable view. The comparable numbers for Toomey are 14% Very Favorable and nine percent (9%) Very Unfavorable. Sestak earns Very Favorable reviews from 10% and Very Unfavorable assessments from 11%.

A Susquehanna Poll in February found 38% of Pennsylvania’s believed Specter deserved to be re-elected. It has got worse. Only 31% now believe that Democratic Senator Arlen Specter should be re-elected, while 59% believe that it’s time for new blood.

More poll numbers at Real Clear Politics show that Specter sounds beats Sestak in the Democratic primary.
