ABC News reports:
Barack Obama and his political party are heading into the midterm elections in trouble. The president???s 40 percent job approval rating in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll is the lowest of his career ??? and the Democratic Party???s popularity is its weakest in polling back 30 years, with more than half of Americans seeing the party unfavorably for the first time.
The Republican Party is even more unpopular. But benefitting from their supporters??? greater likelihood of voting, GOP candidates nonetheless hold a 50-43 percent lead among likely voters for U.S. House seats in the Nov. 4 election.
