09.18.09 -- Lastest Political Analysis Presentation

Public opinion has dramatically shifted over the past few months.  Culled from a number of surveys, this analysis takes an in-depth look at President Obama, the Congress, and key issues.  Some of the key findings include:

• Obama's numbers have slipped with both GOP’ers and Independents, but he is still stronger than Bush was at any point in his second term.
• People like President Obama personally, and want to see him succeed. They are concerned he is too reliant on government providing all the answers.
• The 2010 election will NOT be a continuation of '06 and '08.
• Obama's honeymoon is over and his political capital for expanding government is gone.
• Voters haven't fallen in love again with Republicans, they're simply losing faith in the Democrats.
• Obama's honeymoon is over and his political capital for expanding government is gone.
• Obama has yet to persuade voters that revamping health care is good for them personally.
• We need to fight the Democrat spin that the economy is improving. We need to remind voters that unemployment is at 9.7% when the DEMs said unemployment would stop at 8%.
