Angry voters head to the polls today and are set to throw out Democrats across the country — a wave of pink slips that Republicans say reflects the nation’s deep dissatisfaction with President Obama’s economic policies.
“This election is entirely about him and this big majority in Congress and what they’ve been doing for the last two years,” said Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
With the GOP expected to take over the House and make gains in the Senate, a new CNN survey found that 56 percent of likely voters believe the president hasn’t paid attention to the most important problems, while just 42 percent of likely voters said Obama has the right priorities.
A stunning 75 percent of likely voters said things in the country were going pretty badly or very badly — the worst rating since the poll started asking the question in the 1970s.
Polls show widespread frustration over Obama — who remained off the campaign trial, holed up in the White House yesterday — failing to turn the economy around, while increasing government spending and deficits.
By a margin of 62 percent to 33 per cent, likely voters believe the country is on the wrong track and 47 percent cited the economy as the biggest problem facing the United States today, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll yesterday.
