It's nice of Republicans to be so helpful and generous. Obama New Popularity Causes Democratic Party Affiliation To Surge By Jason Easley I think there is something related, but a bit broader going on here. The 2010 class of GOP governors are some of the most unpopular politicians in the country. Rick Scott in Florida is least popular politician and in America followed by John Kasich of Ohio, Scott Walker of Wisconsin, Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania and Rick Snyder of Michigan. These governors have ignored the will of the people in their states, and embarked on ideologically driven agenda that may have pushed voters back to the Democratic Party. Polling has revealed that Scott, Walker, and Kasich have all helped Obama improve his approval ratings and or lead ahead of 2012 in their states. The correlation was obvious in Wisconsin and Florida. As the governors’ approval ratings went down in each state, Obama’s went up. When you add in the high disapproval rate of the Republican controlled House, you get an electorate that has quickly soured on the GOP. The Republican move to the far right has alienated many American voters. As we inch closer to 2012 things may trending back towards Obama and the Democrats. Nothing has helped this trend more than the Republican support for privatizing Medicare. Their quest to destroy Medicare has given voters a crystal clear reason not to vote Republican. For a party that has the stated goal of defeating Obama in 2012, the GOP is sure doing their best to get him reelected. The combination of Obama’s personal popularity and the GOP’s enraging of voters may be leading people back to the Democratic Party. http://www.politicususa.com/en/obama-party-affiliation [image]local://upfiles/392475/6048A4D2BC724B8CA15D181CA453C7DC.jpg[/image]
