Attended a small reception with Uncle Joe last night...

...he says the President's pollster thinks things are looking promising. Also that a lot of Congressional Republicans WANT to work with the Administration but are just too scared of being primaried, and that if the Democrats can win this year, it'll finally break the fever. (I have my doubts on the last point).
