Of course they did!

Apparently 50% of the public has said they would vote for a generic opponent to this president if the election was held today.

Joe & co are correct it is very early and a lot will depend on what happens over the next couple of years but if they are surprised by this then they just haven’t been paying attention.

His numbers have been poor for his policies for quite some time, they have even said so. The surprise was that his re-election numbers hadn’t tanked earlier.

Somebody has got to hit some of these people with a reality stick. FAST!

Oh and a word to Republicans remember it only took 9 months for the president for the meme to change from realignment to crash and burn.

Update: Believe it or not they actually managed to do worse just an hour later.

Counter intuitive to MSNBC anyways

On Morning Joe today the Politico mentioned the latest polling concerning the Arizona law and reported the “counter-intuitive” results that supporting this law is a big win for pols.

New polling indicates broad public support for the measure and illustrates the peril embattled Democrats could face this November over the issue.

In the South and Midwest, where some of the most competitive congressional races will be fought, popular sentiment is overwhelmingly in favor of the controversial new law

You mean to say the 10,000 is greater than the 300? Who knew!

If all you watch is MSNBC, (and that’s all I watch from 6-9) then you would think that although the federal government has dropped the ball to some degree, this law is the is the greatest border outrage since German Troops crossed into the Rhineland.

Apparently the American Public disagrees and a choice has to be made:

It represents yet another issue on which they’ll be forced to decide between their liberal base and national leadership, who are outraged over what they view as a draconian law, and equally angry constituents who want to crack down on illegal immigrants.

The media was left out of the democratic base here but that’s ok. The result will be the same.

10,000 or 300 make your pick.

Answer: Because even The Moderate Voice blog isn’t buying it

Q: How do you know that it’s true that the “Insult the neighbors meme” has failed?

Via Glenn, watching the new media argument is going to be fun, they certainly aren’t going to change the one they have.

What does Jon Meacham take away from this poll…

that shows a generic republican would get 50% of the vote vs Obama today? That republicans don’t like Sarah Palin.

And people wonder why people don’t read Newsweek?

Mika get him some of that Starbucks coffee on set, STAT!

Update it’s things like this too:
