HopeNChangey is – but not for the better

From BoingBoing:

 With new poll numbers, Rassmussen given the fading news:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15. This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama (see trends). 

Lowest yet?  Not really something to be thankful for, that’s for sure. It seems that as more and more Americans really start to understand where the Democrat Leadership, Obama chief among them, wants to lead them, the public is saying no.

Once again, if all of this "legislative agenda" to have Big Government pre-eminent in society were known as goals ahead of time, would he have been elected?  I don’t know, but go ask your local MSM reporter if they did their job properly for keeping us informed…

And this as well:

Consider these six numbers: 62, 53, 54, 60, 60, 53.

Those numbers are the percentage of voters who supported Barack Obama last year in Westchester and Nassau Counties in New York, Bergen and Middlesex Counties in New Jersey, Fairfax County in Virginia, and Bucks County in Pennsylvania, respectively.

Now, here are the percentages of the vote that the top-of-the-ticket Democratic candidates got in each of those counties this year:  43, 48, 48, 44, 49, 45.

Over at The Campaign Spot, commenting on the role of Big Government in New Jersey, it seems that the general public is getting tired of "but we can’t cut Government – people need our services!!!".  Instead, they are asking "Who is working for whom?":

New Jersey voters support 75 – 21 percent, including 70 – 26 percent among Democrats, a wage freeze for state workers to help balance the state budget, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today, three weeks after Christopher Christie toppled Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine…

…Garden State voters also support 61 – 33 percent layoffs for state workers to help balance the state budget, the independent Quinnipiac University poll finds…

Cut programs and services to balance the budget, 68 percent say, as 23 percent say raise taxes instead.  Service cuts win 46 – 43 percent support from Democrats, 73 – 18 percent backing from independent voters and 86 – 8 percent backing from Republicans.

“If Governor-elect Christopher Christie wants to consider a wage freeze, New Jersey voters, even Democrats and union households, say send out for ice,” said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. “And if he’s thinking about swinging the ax, voters will help sharpen it. Garden State voters agree with their new Governor – overwhelmingly – that the state’s in a fiscal mess.   And they agree he should use the ax, not the tax, to solve the problem.”
