Harris: Worst Poll Results

Another pollster is heard from and the results are worse for Democrats. A Harris Interactive poll, done quite recently, finds some amazing numbers when asking what kind of job President Obama is doing:
It's perhaps not surprising that nine in ten Republicans (90%) and Conservatives (89%) give the job the president is doing negative ratings. What may be surprising is that one-third of Democrats (34%) and Liberals (33%) also give him negative ratings, as do seven in ten Independents (70%) and six in ten Moderates (60%).
When one third of your own people think you have screwed up, you're in a heap of hurt. But the much more significant figure is that most of the Independents and Moderates think you've blown it. They are the ones who are willing to vote for Republican members of Congress, governors, state legislators, etc.

Another Harris finding that makes my head spin is that four-fifths of Democrats disapprove of the job being done by the Democrat-controlled Congress. If this was Japan, Nancy and Harry would be expected to fall on their swords.
