The recent Wall St. Journal/NBC poll says it all: President Obama’s job approval rating is down, disapproval of his performance is up, and for the first time, more Americans view Obama negatively than positively.
For Republicans, the news is hardly better: The party reached an all-time public opinion low, with just 22 percent positive and a stunning 53 percent seeing them negatively.
And then there’s the pox on both their houses: 63 percent of Americans want their own member of Congress kicked out – the highest this number has ever been since the question was asked in 1992.
We all know the reasons – shutdowns and debt ceilings and bungled websites and more. But with an Election Day coming Tuesday, and a much bigger one a year from Tuesday, can either party find a way out?
One person who might know a path – Charlie Cook, Editor and Publisher of The Cook Political Report and Columnist for the National Journal.
