SO HOW’S THAT WORKING OUT FOR YOU GUYS?….Lockstep opposition to all things Obama isn’t working out too well for the GOP according to recent polling done by Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg. CQ’s Balance of Power reports:

A survey of 1,200 voters in 40 traditionally Republican congressional districts now held by Democrats [] shows Obama’s post-election honeymoon reaching a rapturous stage, with 44 percent of voters strongly supporting his policies. [Another 26% “somewhat support” his policies. –ed]

A full 64 percent favor his economic plan, compared to 27 percent against. And precisely that same proportion favors the stimulus in 13 states that are expected to have competitive Senate races in 2010: Kentucky, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Colorado, Ohio, Kansas, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Illinois.

If DC Republicans continue to lash their fate to the SS Talk Radio, I think they can expect to see more and more of this.
