Obama approval at 47 in new NBC poll, tea party more popular than Dems or GOP

Tell me again about the great Democratic realignment.

For the first time, Obama’s overall job approval rating has fallen below 50 percent (to 47 percent).

In addition, for the first time since Sept. 2007, a plurality (45 percent) sees the Democratic Party in a negative light.

And the percentage believing the country is on the wrong track (55 percent) is at its highest level in the Obama presidency…

The entire Republican Party, moreover, continues to maintain a net-negative favorable/unfavorable rating, 28 percent to 43 percent.
But, for the first time in more than two years, the Democratic Party also now holds a net-negative rating, 35 percent to 45 percent.

By comparison, the conservative libertarian-leaning Tea Party movement has a net-positive 41 percent to 23 percent score in the poll.

We’ll get to the tea party in a minute, but first health care: 32/47, another new low, with a plurality saying for the first time that they prefer the status quo to ObamaCare (44/41).

Quoth pollster Bill McInturff: “This is the survey where the wheels came off the bus.â€

There's a Freight Train coming down the Political tracks of America, you can label it what you want, be it Tea party, Independent Movement, Etc. The fact is it is tens of millions of Patriotic Americans fed up with a Government pushing this country further away from its bedrock principles, Constitutional Guidelines, Immigration laws, and host of other issues. You can board this train and help save your country or get ran over by it.
