A new poll contains some worrying signs for Democrats, one night after a crucial special election loss in Florida's 13th district.
The Wall Street Journal/NBC poll found President Barack Obama to be a potential drag on Democratic candidates in the midterm elections this November.
Two numbers, in particular, stand out:
33 percent of respondents said their vote this November would serve as a show of opposition against the president. Only 24 percent said their vote would signal support.
More troublesome: 48 percent of respondents said they'd be less likely to vote for a "solid supporter" of the Obama administration, compared with only 26 percent who said they'd be more likely to vote for such a candidate.
