A poll released last week had some pretty bad news for congressional Democrats heading into the midterm elections. But buried in the poll numbers was a figure that just might constitute an even more important turning point. Respondents were asked: "On balance, do you feel that Obama's presidency so far has been more of a success or more of a failure?" More than half, 52%, said "failure." Only 42% said "success." And it gets worse. Only 22% were "strongly" convinced Obama is a success, while 39% are strongly convinced he's a failure. And the American people have pretty much made up their minds on this; only 6% of respondents had no clear opinion.
