Following my earlier post today on the new Gallup poll reporting that Obama's job approval rating has for the first time fallen below 40% (38% to be precise) among Independents, I noticed tonight a new Fox News poll which verifies Gallup (link at bottom). The Fox News poll reports that 61% of Independents are either "disappointed" or "angry" with the White House. An additional 33% of Independents "are not extremely happy" with Obama, meaning that 94% of Independents have some real issues with Obama and his White House.
Even more significantly as it pertains to 2010, the Fox News poll finds that 55% of Independents (the folks who control election outcomes) are likely to vote for a republican congressional candidate this year with the "specific intention of providing a check on [democrat] control of Congress and the president." Good to see that I am, indeed, very much in touch with my fellow Independents, since that's precisely the sentiment I've been expressing on this blog for months and, specifically, as recently as last weekend:
That is, I will be voting for whichever person the GOP sticks on the ballot in November in my federal Senate and House races, no matter how much I might dislike the GOP candidate and even despite my long tradition (about 15 years now) of never voting for any dems or repubs in any race (since I absolutely distrust and dislike both of these two out-of-touch, corrupt parties that much). But as I stated this past weekend, I have no choice come November. The complete Iron Grip on federal power by the far leftist-controlled dem party must come to an end as soon as possible. We must provide a measure of balance of power in DC. As I've said many, many times in this space, I never in my lifetime want to see again either of these two B.S. parties having the total control of our federal government that Obama & The Dems have used to run roughshod over the past 18 months. Because it's been some very scary stuff.
