We need some DU love on this poll... REALLY.
Please vote on this poll... Currently the poll is 75-25 Dems-Cons. We need to change this around, as the Cons got us into this mess... Please vote appropriately, so that people don't forget who got us into the financial doldrums.

Will voters blame Democrats for economic problems in 2010 election?
Added 2 days ago on July 9th, 2009
At some point it will become President Obama and the Democrats' recession, not George W. Bush's. If the economy doesn't start to show signs of picking up, Democrats could feel the voters' anger in next year's mid-term elections.
President Obama is traveling a path not unlike the one President Ronald Reagan once traveled and, as my colleague Christine Romans points out, the Democrats could learn something from President Reagan's experience. Both Presidents were wildly popular early on, but unemployment was rising.
In the 1982 elections Reagan's Republican Party lost 26 seats and experts say the scale was tipped when unemployment hit 10-percent. President Obama currently faces a 9.5-percent unemployment rate and now says 10-percent is likely before the year is over. Renowned investor Warren Buffet said this morning on Good Morning America that unemployment could hit 11-percent.

1. I wish we could just un-vote one of their votes, instead.

2. Done. At this point the poll is against us, 27%-72%
Of course, that could be the same guy in the "Rush Room" at Cape Gireadeau voting against us thousands and thousands of times as the sugar high kicks in.

9. That's right.
I fully expect to see some improvement after 2 years with Democrats in control of the Executive and Legislative. I am not alone in this respect.
