What makes the following polling so amazing is that it comes from democracycorps.com, the James Carville polling firm. They always seem to have good news for Democrats, but not this time. This came out 2 days ago and the left, who usually spreads his polls like wildfire, didn't so so with this one. You can see why:
From TheConservatives.com
By 53%-42%, those who are likely to vote in the 2010 election say Barack Obama is 'too liberal.'
They believe by a margin of 53%-40% that he will 'raise my taxes.'
By 55%-42% they say 'he promises things that sound good' but that won't get done.
By a whopping 65%-32%, likely voters call Obama a 'big spender.'
The news for 'Democrats' more generally is no better.
On the economy, likely voters give 'the Democrats' just a 6 point edge (45%-39%) over 'the Republicans.'
Likely voters give the Republicans an 11 point edge (49%-38%) on taxes.
The Republicans have a 13 point lead (47%-34%) on government spending.
Republicans have a 5 point edge (42%-37%) on the budget deficit.
Furthermore, by a margin of 54%-34%, likely voters believe Obama is not keeping his promise to 'save or create 3 million jobs.' And by 51%-43%, likely voters are more worried that the government will 'spend too much,' rather than 'fail to take strong action on important priorities.'
All-in-all, this is terrible news for Democrats.
