Zogby Report Card: Obamacare hate threatens Democrats in midterms

Pollster John Zogby reports in our weekly White House report card thatPresident Obama's signature health care reform is dragging Democrats down.

"President Obama got some chilling news from a USA Today/Pew poll this week. Americans who oppose his health care law say they are significantly more likely to vote in November than those who support it. Democrats can lose the Senate if those numbers hold.

“On the other hand, the poll's sample included 42 percent self-identified Republicans and 39 percent self-identified Democrats. This pollster knows that party identification changes over time, but not like an earthquake on the San Andreas Fault. Nonetheless, Democrats are going to need those new health care beneficiaries to come out in droves to vote, and it looks like it could take some convincing."

Democrats have a lot more then Obamacare to be afraid of. People, real American middle class people, are finally realizing that the liberal Democratic ideals and agenda are why this country is in the sad, sad shape it's in today.

Unless the Republican party gets its act together and cooperates with the Tea Party, the internal strife will split the vote and the socialists will remain in power.

If the right and further right can agree to disagree on some things and join together to put winnable names on the ballot, we can overturn the implementations of the recent socialists agendas and get this country back on a growth path again.

All you have to do is compare the different areas. MI and NY are slums - run by Democrats vs NC and TX - run by Republicans...
