One cannot and in fact, should not, write about every poll that comes out in an election cycle. To say it succinctly: there are too many of them, and not all of them are credible.

Making Sense, By Michael Reagan.

It’s almost as if President Obama’s agenda includes provoking anger at himself.

And it’s not just Republicans he’s provoking. It’s just about anybody who crosses his path, even his party’s deranged left wing.

Long-time liberal Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel is a case in point. The veteran Harlem congressman reacted to criticism from the president, who called on him to “end his career with dignity,” by remarking that Obama hasn’t “been around long enough to determine what my dignity is.”

On Tuesday House Minority Leader John Boehner called on President Obama to take drastic and immediate action to right the economy by firing his economic team and getting a new economic game plan.
“President Obama should ask for – and accept – the resignations of the remaining members of his economic team, starting with Secretary Geithner [...]

On Tuesday the bad economic news came in the form of the lowest occupied home sales rate in the last 15 years, much lower than expected. On Wednesday it was the sales of newly constructed homes in July that dropped 12 percent from the previous month to its lowest level since record keeping began 47 years ago.

To political junkies, all previews of how an election is likely to turn out are must reading. One could say it is like a vice; say like smoking, although in this case the only mayor illness one can contract is political confusion.

News is when a man bites a dog, not when a dog bites a man.

That is why we are rapidly approaching the point where another story, about another poll showing how President Barack Obama’s numbers on his ability to handle the economy continue to decline is becoming a dog bites man type of story. They come every day and all bring bad news for Democrats.

See Democrats scatter.

By mid-week, close to a week after President Barack Obama injected himself into the issue of whether Muslims should be allowed to build a 15-story mosque two blocks away from Ground Zero, Democrats were running all over the place.

Independents who embraced President Barack Obama’s call for change in 2008 have become the worst nightmare of Democrats running for office in November.

According to those who are say they are not registered with either party, only 32 percent say they want Democrats to keep control of Congress in this November’s elections. That is one of the major findings of the combined results of three recent Associated Press-GfK polls.

From Wall Street to main street; from one poll to another; no matter where White House or Democratic Party officials looked Wednesday the news was not good.

On Wednesday the stock market plunged more than two percentage points as China’s economic growth slowed down and investors thought of the comments that the Federal Reserve made on Tuesday.

It is always more fun when you can see a political fight from the other side of the fence. It does harm to your opponents and you can sit by and enjoy the view.
