Reagan also got his clock cleaned in his midterms in 1982 as well as Clinton in 1994.  Remember Bush left office at about 25% popular.  Clinton at 60%.  Obama won with 53% of the vote  . Miraculously with the economy as bad as it was and stil is, he is still hovering around 50%.  Not bad.</p></blockquote><p></p>
