Latest Polls Are Bad News for Obama & Dems

Two polls released today spell bad news for President Obama and Congressional Democrats and could mean trouble for their political futures

According the Fox News Opinion Dynamics Poll, the American people are beginning to perceive the President as weak on national security.

69% of Americans believe Obama needs to get tougher with North Korea, including a staggering 65% percent of Democrats. 66% believe that he hasn’t been tough on Iran, including nearly 60% of Dems. This just shows that a lot of Democrats are not in lockstep with the administration or the liberal media. The mainstream media is exceedingly moving farther and farther to the left and are clearly out of touch with the American people and even those in their own party. This is why they are hemorrhaging money at stunning pace. President Obama is heading into dangerous territory politically on foreign policy, and that is the least of his problems with a trillion dollar deficit and high unemployment. Reagan Democrats are usually believe in strong national security and I believe they make up a majority of the Dems who disapprove of the president’s stance in foreign affairs. These voters could spell trouble for Obama just like they did for Jimmy Carter in 198o, unless he begins to show some backbone to these dictatorial regimes.

Today also was an encouraging day for Republicans, whose leadership is in great need of direction, as the latest Gallup poll shows that conservatives are the strongest ideological group in America. In the poll, 40% of Americans identify themselves as conservative with 35% saying they are moderate and 21% saying they are liberal.

This means that all the Republicans need to do to win is get voters from all those who label themselves as conservatives and win just 11% of moderates. So they could lose roughly 70% of moderates and still receive more total votes in the 2010 midterm elections. This is stunning!!! So…the people are our side who are saying we need to abandon the principles of Ronald Reagan are heavily misguided (raise you hand Colin Powell, David Frum, Mike Murphy).

This is even more of a reason why Republicans need to get behind Sarah Palin as the leader of the GOP. She can definitely win a 11% of moderates with a combination of her personal appeal and Obama’s ineffective governing on several key issues. There is no doubt in my mind that she is the best person on our side to rally the 40% of Americans who say they are conservative

This is why the media and even late night talk show hosts, such as David Letterman, feel the need to destroy her. She is a major threat. Why do you think us “conservatives” were rooting for Hillary to beat Obama in the primary? Because we were scared Obama could beat us…and he did. The mainstream media is just as nervous about Palin and that is why they are trying to minimize her. DONT TAKE THE BAIT. Let her be the public face of our party in 201o and help other Republicans get elected to Congress.
