We'll start rolling out our Ohio poll results tomorrow but there's one finding on the poll that pretty much sums it up: by a 50-42 margin voters there say they'd rather have George W. Bush in the White House right now than Barack Obama.
Independents hold that view by a 44-37 margin and there are more Democrats who would take Bush back (11%) than there are Republicans who think Obama's preferable (3%.)
A couple months ago I thought the Pennsylvanias and Missouris and Ohios of the world were the biggest battlegrounds for 2010 but when you see numbers like this it makes you think it's probably actually the Californias and the Wisconsins and the Washingtons.
There's not much doubt things are getting worse for Democrats...and they were already pretty bad. Somehow the party base needs to get reinvigorated over the next two months or there's going to be a very, very steep price to pay.
You are reading correctly.
They are saying what have always been the close call states are gone. and the battles are in the 'safe' states. In fact, in CA, Boxer leads by only 3.5, in WI, Feingold (a good man if to the left) leads by 1%, and in WA, Patty Murray a complete moron, by 3%, all within the % of error and therefore dead heats.

Whoa!
Was this poll taken after BHO's mosque statement?
Before and after
