The latest poll by Democracy Corps, the firm of James Carville and Stan Greenberg, has Republicans leading on the generic ballot among likely voters, 48 percent to 42 percent.
Deep in the poll, they ask, “Now, I am going to read you a list of words and phrases which people use to describe political figures. For each word or phrase, please tell me whether it describes Barack Obama very well, well, not too well, or not well at all.”
.... 56 percent of likely voters consider Obama too liberal.
.... 55 percent of likely voters think “socialist” is a reasonably accurate way of describing Obama.
But the Big Story in my neck of the woods is that West Virginia is a focus at Rasmussen -- here and here.
Only 35% of voters in the state approve of how President Obama is doing his job, while 64% disapprove. This is a much higher rate of disapproval than is found in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.
Also voters West Virginia strongly favor repeal of the recently passed health care plan and oppose the Obama administration’s decision to challenge Arizona’s new immigration law in court.
Just five percent (5%) of West Virginia voters now rate the economy as good or excellent, while 54% say it’s in poor shape. Sixty-six percent (66%) believe the economy is in a recession, and 62% say things are getting worse.
We may be fat (31.2 pct) and poor over here, but we are No. 1 in smart
... and beautiful.
