I make it a general rule not to engage people who refer to me as a wingnut, or who seem to suffer from arrested development, but I will nevertheless stipulate to Todd and Mike in Maryland that I am fully willing to accept Rasmussen's finding that the sitting Dem gov of the deep blue state of NJ is only trailing by 7 points.
What an achievement.

PS The Qunnipiac poll, more recent, has Corzine down by 12. Somehow the GOP's low "popularity" doesn't seem to be a millstone around Christie's neck. Nor does Obama's popularity seem to be helping Corzine. But by all means keep sputtering about "wingnuts" gentlemen. They seem to be your expertise.

Yep.

Sure is.

That comes to just over $3,111,111 per employee.

And here I thought that only DoD contractors could pull that average rate per employee in a contract with the federal government. Guess I was wrong on that!

By the way, CVik, got a site that you could cite for that bit of data? Since you've done 'some good research' on this, I'm sure you can give us the source for your 'data'.

2009-07-12T21:47:02.834-04:00

I did some good research on this topic. Medicare overhead is far more than 3%. Claim fraud itself is like 15% of medicare spend. Then the billing cost is handled by SSA. There is structural bias againts reducing claim fraud and improving service as that would be counted against overhead. Also overhead per person of CMS which administers Medicare is huge. 4500 employees putting overhead of $14billion is rather large.

Not taking any sides here but numbers should not be misused.

I think MiM's point was that, since conservatives think Rasmussen is the "real deal", then they would have to accept Rasmussen's insight into the NJ race.

In the same way, since conservatives routinely dismiss PPP as "liberal", it's odd that they feel comfortable invoking PPP's work on the VA and NJ races.

It's even stranger, considering that the wingnut opinion here in late October was that all polling is worthless and "the only poll that matters is the one on Election Day", but consistency never was the wingnut's strong suit.

But you keep on patting yourself on the back for knocking down that straw man, Jeff. Good job.

Jeff wrote:
"The GOP numbers are bad, but they aren't as significant as you supposed (just as it is not all that significant that figures like Pelosi and Reid are unpopular)."

You are comparing apples to oranges, groups to individuals, national numbers to state races.

The point is that the wingnuts claim that Obama's approval numbers and Republican approval numbers are an inverse relationship. The implicit idea is that, as Obama's approval drops, the Republican positions become more acceptable.

This is the crux of the issue for wingnuts, because there is no upside for Obama's decline unless it means a greater probability of success for Republicans.

Indeed, we have routinely seen comments here along the lines of, "once the voters find out Obama has failed/is a Muslim/socialist/terrorist, then the Democrats will be booted from the White House".

Recall that the House Republicans (all 178 of them) voted as one against the stimulus package. This was held up as a great victory by the wingnuts, and America was supposed to see these 178 'brave souls' as some kind of heroes.

Well, currently, only 12% approves of them and 71% disapproves, so this isn't really a ringing endorsement of the Republican 'position'. That is strange, since Obama's decline in popularity was supposed to make the Republican 'position' look more appealing.

And the Republican Party, which one would expect to benefit from the Wingnut Law of Inverse Popularity, is at 72% unfavourable. Curiouser and curiouser...

Now, does this mean that no Republican can ever win in purple States, or against a damaged incumbent? No. But it does mean that harold was correct when he said that "loss of approval by Democrats does not translate into gain of approval by Republicans".

The public is not embracing the Republican Party positions. The GOP is not an attractive alternative for voters disaffected with Obama. Obama's loss is not the Republicans' gain.

In fact, a considerable amount of Obama's decline in popularity has come from Republicans turning against him

2009-07-12T09:03:33.358-04:00

Mike in Maryland,
Corzine is in serious trouble. Doesn't mean he may not win, but he's exceptionally vulnerable, because he's a bad governor. I'm not sure anyone else is overly excited about a sitting Dem gov in NJ pulling to within 7 points.

"Paucity of data" - bull. There have been three or four polls in Virginia at least in the last week or two. There will not be serious analysis of these races UNLESS there is movement for the Dems, in which case we'll hear about nothing else.

Still, I'm touched by your affection for Corzine. Seriously, is there a corrupt Dem-machine hack or self-funded plutocrat that the denizens of this site WON'T support? It doesn't matter how low these state parties go (check out the news from MA and IL), you people line up like lemmings. The voters won't prove as accomodating. Early prediction: Duval Patrick is toast in MA.

For instance, party numbers that abysmal aren't preventing the GOP from advancing toward likely wins in the biggest elections of the year (the VA and NJ gov races - which are currently being studiously ignored on 538).

Jeffy?

Oh, Jeffy?

Again doing what Jen said? Talking out of the nether regions of your body?

According to the current GOOPer favored pollster, "The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state shows Christie with a seven-point lead over Corzine, 46% to 39%." That 7 point difference is down from a 13 point lead immediately following the primary. (July 8, 2009)

Rasmussen also reports, "New Jersey polls often show Republican candidates doing better early in the campaign with Democrats coming back in the fall."

Gee, that took me all of a couple of minutes to find, much less time than it took to type in my comments here on this thread.

And did it occur to you that maybe the reason why 538.com is 'ignoring' the polls in the two races is because of a paucity of data? You know, the raw material which is used to make legitimate analysis (as Nate tries to do), not comments from a person's nether regions (as you always and consistently do)?

The GOP numbers are bad, but they aren't as significant as you supposed (just as it is not all that significant that figures like Pelosi and Reid are unpopular). For instance, party numbers that abysmal aren't preventing the GOP from advancing toward likely wins in the biggest elections of the year (the VA and NJ gov races - which are currently being studiously ignored on 538).

PS - add this to the list of Dem screw ups. Holder is leaning toward a special prosectuor on interrogation techniques. !!! There is a reason that Obama wants nothing to do with this. It's a serious political looser (and perhaps political suicide - if, god forbid, there is a terrorist strike on this country while the Dems are busy tearing down our security apparatus and prosecuting their political enemies).

The cliche all politics are local.

Lets call the Franken - Coleman race 50/50. Franken campaigns with Obama is it likely Pawlenty wins, I don't think so.

A Minnesota Republican selling down South, not easy. Mitt Rommey had a big problem and that is not going to change by 2012.. The other potential moderate Republicans need to have a centrist to win and that is fact and the herd has been thinned.

Newt, Rudi, Huckabee will run because being a Presidential candidate is a great part time job. If the GOP had any leadership, I would promote Kay Balley Hutchison who I think would be the most competitive against Obama.

I do suffer from logic and never in my wildest dreams thought McCain would be taken in by Palin but that just goes to show you.

Beyond Rasmussen, there has been a slight decline in Obama's approval ratings overall- from the low 60s to the high 50s- and I'd expect the trend to continue.

My point was in response to several posters here and on other sites who've been talking about Obamas "sinking" popularity.
I don't think we are disagreeing much, which makes arguing less fun.

2009-07-11T17:48:16.136-04:00

Todji -

That Obama's numbers are dipping has long been expected.

They've always been lower on Rasmussen than anywhere else (that's a constant, not "dipping"), and on pollingreport.com they're virtually unchanging - a constant job approval rating in the high 50's to low 60's, with about a 35% or so disapproval.

I haven't seen a lot of prior polls specifically about Ohio, but given that Obama barely won that state, and that it is being creamed economically, the performance reported doesn't seem very bad.

I certainly don't disagree with the general gist of your comment, nor that this trend may soon change, but I actually don't really see much "drop".

Every random fluctuation from poll to poll will be touted as a "drop" by wingnuts, of course.

2009-07-11T15:59:50.156-04:00

That Obama's numbers are dipping has long been expected. Back in January Nate was writing about how popularity peaks around the inauguration, and extended economic difficulties of the sort we are facing would bring down the popularity of any sitting president.

In a year when the economy is back on stable footing Obama's popularity will rise again.

2009-07-11T14:48:57.191-04:00

Sarah Palin is simply a direct leading indicator of how pathetic of a state the Republican party is in and how pathetic the mass media and American hunger for gossip and BS work together for an atrocious synergy of muck. She is nothing, but that. She has no experience and could not beat any candidate with 50% +1 of the vote, running for any office anywhere in the country at this point. The fact that we keep talking about her is not shame on her, but shame on us. She has nothing to offer. The fact that 30% of the country loves her does not mitigate the fact that 50%+ are polarized against her. Perhaps she's good for raising money from Evangelicals in specific parts of the country, selling an autobiography, and giving speeches to select crowds, preaching to the choir, that's about all. She galvanizes the opposition almost as much or maybe more than Obama does for his own party. Good luck Sarah and GOPers.

At least for the time being, Republicans do not appear to be the default."

Spot on.

And R2K proves this.

House Republicans now have a 12% favourable rating with 71% unfavourable.

The GOP itself shows 22% favourable, 72% unfavourable in polling.

Meanwhile, PK talks about Obama's numbers "falling off a cliff". Republicans are less popular now than Bush was when he left office.
Which Party's numbers are really "falling off a cliff" here?

And if Obama's numbers are so low, as the wingnuts maintain, then where is the commensurate rise in Republican popularity?

Pawlenty's star is only beginning to decline. The negative effect of his "unallotment" tactic, in which he has assumed dictatorial control of the State budget, has yet to be felt. It is all on Pawlenty, and the MN Republican Party has tied their fate to his.

Take a look at that map of MN counties in the post. The majority of the State's population is in two counties, which are blue. The striking thing to me, as a MN political observer, is that the SE and West are turning blue. These have always been Republican strongholds, and their numbers are now concentrated in suburban and exurban counties.

I am shocked that Pete Kent's prediction of Palin's accent winning over MN is not borne out by the polls. It's almost as if the man spouts worthless idiocy based on boundless optimism for his Party.

In 1994- Democratic female US House members like
Karan English(AZ-6)
Lynn Schenk(CA-49)
Jill Long Thompson
Leslie Byrne(VA-11
regarding the US Senate. before the 1992 Year of Women. We had two female US Senators. Nancy Kassebaum-KS- a moderate Republican from a red state Barbara Mikulski-MD a liberal Democrat from a blue state. Kassebaum-KS was elected in 1978,re-elected in 1984 and 1990- retired in 1996. Mikulski-D was elected in 1986 by a landslide margin against Linda Chavez.,re-elected in 1992 against Alan Keyes by a landslide margin,in 1998 and 2004.
In 1992- Boxer and Fienstien(CA),Moseley Braun(IL)and Patty Murray(WA)got elected.
Boxer won an open seat election(the retirement of Alan Cranston. Fienstien ran against an appointed GOP US Senator in a special election. Fienstien ran again in 1994- narrowly defeated the former Mr. Arianna Huffington. She won re-election in 2000 by a landslide margin against Tom Campbell and in 2006. Boxer won re-election in 1998 against State Treasurer Matt Fong by a 10 point margin and in 2004 against Former Sect of State Bill Jones by a 20 point margin. Mosely Braun narrowly defeated an Incumbent Democratic Senator in the primary and won in the general election against a weak GOP opponent. Murray-WA was elected in a open seat election against a sitting US House Member(Rod Chandler).won re-election in 1998 against Linda Smith(a sitting US House Member. and in 2004 (George Nethercutt)-a sitting US House Member.- Fienstien,Boxer,and Murray are safe bets in their re-election campaigns.
Kay Bailey Hutchison-TX win a 1993 Special Election by a landslide margin against an appointed Democratic US Senator. Wins re-election in 1994,2000,and 2006 by a landslide margin.
Olympia Snowe-ME gets elected in 1994 in a open seat Election(Mitchell Seat)by a landslide margin against a sitting liberal US House Member from Portland-ME(Tom Andrews).
Olympia Snowe's fellow collegue- Susan Collins-ME- got elected in 1996 defeating a former Democratic Governor- Joe Brennan. She won re-election in 2002 and 2006 by a landslide margin.
Mary Landrieu-LA narrowly won election in a open seat(Johnston seat) in 1996, narrow won re-election in a 2002 runnoff against a Sitting Statewide Elected official-(Suzanne Hark Terrell)and in 2008 against a former Democrat- John Kennedy.
Blanche Lincoln-AR got elected in 1998- (OPEN Seat Election-Bumpers Seat)- won re-election in 2004 by a double digit margin.
In 2000- Debbie Stabenow-MI and Maria Cantwell-WA narrowly got elected unseating weak Republican incumbents. Both won re-election in 2006 by a landslide margin. Hillary Clinton-NY won in a open seat election(Moynihan seat).Hillary won re-election by a landslide margin in 2006.
In 2002- Liddy Dole -NC was elected in a open seat election(Helms Seat). Lost re-election in 2008 to Kay Hagan. Lisa Murkowski-AK appointed by her father to her father's old seat. won re-lection in 2004 against a former Democratic Governor.
In 2006- Amy Klobuchar-MN won an open seat election(Dayton)by a landslide margin.
Claire McCaskill-MO narrowly unseated a weak GOP incumbent.
In 2008- Jeanne Shaheen-NH and Kay Hagan-NC defeated a weak GOP incumbents.

Klobuchar-MN is a safe bet in her 2012 re-election bid based on Obama's coattails. McCaskill-MO will benifit from Democratic Governor Jay Nixon's coattails.
Shaheen-NH is going to get re-elected being a former 3 term Governor.
Kay Hagan-NC is the only female Democratic official that is vulnerable to defeat. 2014 is an off year election year in a purple state. The Republicans will field a much stronger candidate than Liddy Dole.
