President Barack Obama's approval rating has fallen below George W. Bush's, according to recent Gallup polls.

You really should update your data rather than recycling old news.

President Obama’s approval ratings has climbed to its highest point in nearly a year and opinions of Congress are up too, a new poll Wednesday found.

Fifty-three percent of Americans surveyed for an Associated Press-GfK poll released Wednesday said they approve of how Obama is doing his job.

Hello McFly, it's 2011. Where were you when in November 2010? rofllol rofllol rofllol

Watching the Democrats retain control of the US Senate, retain their senate seats in Colorado, Nevada and Delaware against Tea Party candidates, watching the Democrats retain the governorship of Colorado, all thanks to those wacky Tea Party Candidates.

Talk about spin! Even Obama admitted the Dems and him had taken a historic shellacking. True, the TEA Party did choose some hard right people who couldn't get elected, but it was one of the biggest turnovers in both the House and Senate. And I like that a lot of hard spending Rinos also lost their primaries.

Don't try to stop the almost acrobatic backslapping that St. D.. S.... is up to, its humorous.

The point being is that if the Tea Party had not ran such wacky candidates, particularly in Nevada, Colorado and Delaware (and Alaska), they would have had a shot at controlling the Senate. Since the Tea Party did, the Dems retained control in the Senate, thus thwarting any chance the Republicans to change things, if they ever came up with a plan.

A stalemate is a success and could be step one of a plan.

That is true but if the tea party had not coalesced the r and i's would have stayed home and the d's would still own everything.

Edit to add: While the mainstream r's are very capable of shooting themselves in the foot (metaphorically speaking of course) if the do not or if the tp are successful in keeping there feet to the fire, the current d strategy of attack, slander and demonize will lead to another historic defeat in '12.

Hey dog et al. , something to give you hope.

"Tea Party Activist Takes Over New Hampshire Republicans
By ABBY GOODNOUGH
January 22, 2011

DERRY, N.H. — A rancorous fight to lead the New Hampshire Republican Party through next year’s presidential race ended Saturday with an upset victory by a conservative activist backed by members of the Tea Party and other grassroots groups.

Jack Kimball, a relative newcomer to party politics who ran for governor last year as a fiscal and social conservative, beat Juliana Bergeron, who leads the Cheshire County Republicans and was backed by former Gov. John Sununu, the outgoing state party chairman.

The race was closely watched as a sign of how much influence Tea Party groups will exert here in the lead-up to New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation presidential primary, tentatively scheduled for Feb. 14, 2012.

Mr. Sununu said Ms. Bergeron was a proven leader and fundraiser who could unite all of the party’s factions. In a strongly worded speech before the vote, Mr. Sununu said he was worried about divisions within the party and warned that its leaders must not alienate more moderate members and independents, who make up about 40 percent of the state’s voters."
