According to this McClatchy-Marist Poll, the president’s approval rating is at 39% among registered voters nationally, an all-time low for Mr. Obama. For the first time a majority — 52% — disapproves of the job he is doing in office, and 9% are unsure.Behold, the magic of American democracy: Two politicians disliked by their constituents seem likely to head the tickets of their respective parties.

Joe, I've repeatedly said this over at Dakinikat's but I don't think they take me seriously. I've lived in Texas since 1985 and have yet to meet a person who claims to like Perry or to have voted for him, yet, he wins the election every time and in a landslide. Republicans will all say they hate his guts, that they won't vote for him but you know what I'll believe it when he loses an election.
Good, sad read. Ramsey Clark taking over the anti-war movement popped into my mind.
