..... as they dont like partisan rancor. Well, at least the middle doesn't anyway. That's why they're in the middle. They dont want to be involved with either party if all they do is fight with one another.

But most Americans know that President and the darned "Democrat" party are actually trying to FIX our problems while the Republicans are getting in the way and failing to offer other solutions.

If the President was seen as being a partisaned Republican, those numbers might be different.

His plan has always been to push forward the left's agenda while offering a symbolic open hand to the right. It never mattered that he was successful in working with the right, it only mattered that he TRIED.
