Obama's Approval Hits New Low Point and the Tea Party Surges

Well, it seems that Americans are completely ignoring the Hope n' Change.

Only 42 percent of Americans now approve of how Obama's handling his job as president, according to a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll. Fifty-four percent disapprove of his performance.

The figures represent a new low-water mark in the CNN/ORC poll for the president, who, almost two years into his term, continues to wrestle with public worries over a sluggish economy and exhaustion with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. 

Here is one part of the poll that should give the Dems pause whenever they try to take apart the Tea Party.

In contrast, half of all likely voters now say they are likely to choose a candidate supported by the conservative Tea Party -- contributing to the GOP's 53 to 44 percent lead when such voters are asked which party's candidate they will choose in November.  

Wow half of all votes support the Tea Party? You can no longer say that the Tea Party is some racist fringe group when half of all Americans in this poll are going to support their candidates. This is after almost constant attack from the Legacy Media and the Dems. I think Americans just gravitate to the message that too much money is confiscated from them and then quickly wasted when government gets bigger and more powerful.
