According to new polls out in the last few days, DEMS are falling behind in the all important generical congressional ballot and President Obama's approval ratings are now routinely upside down...more disapprove than approve.

Being the "reality based" community that we are, I think we need to seriously discuss the challenges the DEMS face in turning these numbers around to avoid a catastrophic election in November.

With the possible entry of former NYC Mayor Rudy Guiliani into the New York Senate race, Senate Democrats have another Senate seat in deep danger of being picked up by the GOP.

Here we are in 2009 on the one hand celebrating a historic Democratic Presidency and having supermajorities in Congress including the magical 60 seat US Senate. On the other hand we are struggling to pass healthcare and energy reform legislation despite such numbers. Well it's better to be in this position than the position the GOP is in but after 2010 we could be singing the blues.

The current focus of the Democrat's bid to get to 60 seats has been focused on winning the three currently undecided 2008 Senate races. That is totally reasonable but not likely to yield the desired result. But even if the DEMS don't quite hit 60 through this path they can with a little strategic thinking. Let me explain.

Why do we always seem to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

I ask because it is becoming clear from the daily tracking polls that the disastrous and horrid ABC News Debate is having a negative effect on the DEM frontrunner and likely nominee Barack Obama. Many were hoping this would not happen but alas it appears to be so.

Like most here, I am severely disappointed in the decision reached by the State Court of Appeals in Maryland regarding the 1973 law banning same sex marriage. By a narrow 4-3 vote the Court upheld the ban saying their is no state constitutional right for people to marry despite convincing arguments from the plaintiffs that the law violated their equal rights and denied them due process under the law.

The media's efforts to trumpet a so called rebound in Bush's approval met with some unfortunate resistance....the latest national polls. While the two latests polls do show a slightly higher Bush approval at 37% and 38%, Bush's disapprovals in both are at near record highs. Read More

Although it looked like a quick election would be called in Canada, that is looking a bit less likely today.

There has been major bickering between the NDP and the Conservatives according the the Globe and Mail.

And the latest poll out yesterday has the Liberals actually winning...bouncing back after just a few weeks of bad news. They would likely win another minority government.

Well it's technically the second time he has dropped to the 30's range in job approval. The first was in the last poll from the American Research Group that had him sinking to 36% approval.

But with the bevy of polls released yesterday showing Bush clinging to a rating above 40%, I felt frustrated that despite all the bad he has done regarding Katrina he still had yet to drop below 40% in job approval.

Well the new AP/IPSOS poll taken Sept 6-8 and released this morning shows Bush's approval rating has fallen to a record low of 39%!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050909/ap_on_re_us/katrina_ap_poll_hk1

I just have one word to say....FINALLY! He sohuld have been there a long time ago. I don't think this is the lowest he will go either. I foresee a lot of hell to pay when the bodies start getting collected, an investigation gets started and when the vote on the Iraq Constitution inevitably sparks more violence there.

After a very tumultous Spring Session of Parliament that almost saw the overthrow of minority government of Paul Martin's Liberals, the party has rebounded in the polls and is on the cusp of a potential majoirty government.

If the Canadian national election were held today, 39% of decided voters would cast a ballot for a Liberal candidate. Only 24% of decided voters would vote for the main opposition party-the Conservatives led by Stephen Harper.

According to the latest American Research Group national poll President Bush's ratings have stayed at basement levels.

"George W. Bush's overall job approval ratings remain unchanged from a month ago according to the latest survey from the American Research Group. Among all Americans, 42% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 52% disapprove."
