Poll Numbers And Indicators
Harry Reid has said that the President’s poor poll numbers are indicative of his failures as a President:
“The poll numbers we’ve seen of the president, who has a 34 percent approval rating, masks the approval of the vice president, which is down to about 18 percent. But these poll numbers are indicative of the failures of this presidency.”

I’m sure there’ll be all sorts of media stories about the President’s low approval numbers, but don’t expect to hear much about Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the congressional Demcorats’ poor numbers.
