Oh we all know the story about how Scott Brown won back the U.S. Senate for the Republican Party and how Republicans are now well on the way to retaking every single branch of government.
They are in great shape, more popular than ever. Right?
Um...not so much. When to the problems facing America, more people blame Republicans than any other group, according to the latest NBC/WSJ poll:
When it comes to dealing with the problems facing America, how much blame do you give [___] in not finding solutions to those problems--a great deal of blame, quite a bit of blame, just some blame, or very little blame?
Blame Not Blame
The Republicans in Congress 48% 50%
The Democrats in Congress 41% 56%
President Obama 27% 71%
The challenge for Dems is making sure these people vote. This was a poll of all adults -- not just people likely to turn out in November. But if there's one thing that these numbers make clear, it's that the more they can get people fired up to head to the polls, the better Democrats will do next November.
