I mean it sounds bad, until you see the Republican numbers.

Poll: Only 2/3 of 2008 Obama Backers Plan to Vote Democrat

A new CBS News-Knowledge Networks Poll shows President Obama's approval rating among people who voted for him in 2008 remains very strong, at 82 percent, but that will do little to help Democrats hold onto seats in Congress on November 2.

CBS News senior White House correspondent Bill Plante reports that, for the White House, keeping control of the House and Senate is all about getting Democrats and Independents who voted for the president in 2008 back to the polls, and on that score, the latest poll numbers show Mr. Obama hasn't closed the sale.

Only two-thirds of Obama voters in 2008 (67 percent) say they'll vote for one of his fellow Democrats in 2010. Eight percent of those voters say they will vote Republican this year, and 21 percent say it depends.

The biggest erosion of support is among independents; just 42 percent of Obama's 2008 independent voters say they'll support a Democrat this year. Twelve percent say they'll vote for a Republican, and 38 percent were still undecided.

7. So Is A Lot In Life...

But I'm tryin to jump start the hope.

:D

9. OK. I do understand. nt

2. 67% of the turnout in '08 is probably not too bad (for a midterm)

There is still a lot of undecided fools.

5. See I'm Thinkin The Undecideds, While Pissed Off...

10. I have yet to see CBS show anything positive for the Democrats

when the local goes national news. First thing out of Katie Couric's mouth is how bad things are for the Democrats. I wouldn't feel sorry if someone super glued her mouth shut. But that wouldn't be nice. But, she and her fellow scum suckers don't deserve to be treated nice.

They always seem to focus just on the negatives without considering that the Teabaggers are going to be doing more harm than good for Republicans. And they think that Democrats are just sitting on their asses for this election it is hopeless for them.
