Obviously it is probably too early to take a poll of likely voters now, but registered voter polls always skew towards Democrats, a point Gallup stressed many times last year. Two, Obama is in serious, serious trouble. I find the notion that people are going to vote against Obama and for the Democrat in the House to be a pretty dicey one, at best.<br />Thirdly, it is way too early to proclaim that Dems can win the House. A lot of this is a reaction to how the debt deal went down. That anger is going to cool down. Fourthly, in proclaiming that the Dems are going to retake the House, totally left out of the discussion is the huge redistricting advantage Republicans will have come 2012.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-76866314907745841982011-08-10T12:04:22.997-05:002011-08-10T12:04:22.997-05:00Could you look at tracking the question CNN asked ...Could you look at tracking the question CNN asked of those express disapproval of Obama's presidency.

Presidential election years don't tend to produce swings as big as those of midterm elections.<br /><br />The Democrats will probably win seats, but probably not enough to retake the House. They probably won't even get more than 50% of the seats they would need for that.The Interesting Timeshttp://the-futurologist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
