Obama Coalition Is Fraying, Poll Finds

People are switching from Democrats to Republicans in the final stage of the midterm elections. 57 % of voter say that they will vote for candidates with little previous political experience and more than ¼ say that they will vote for candidates who have some views that “seem extreme.” The Democrats no longer have an advantage over the Republicans in being able to create jobs, and Republicans are seen to be able to better reduce the federal budget deficit. The public wants a compromise from both parties. Government spending is an important issue and they don’t know where to cut the budget, and social security costs are growing. The people are divided on repealing the health care bill. There are 14 states that do not have Senate this year.

It is a battle for who is going to take control of the House and the Senate. Who ever wins the election will have to work to get the national deficit reduced. They will have to do something with social security and the health acre bill. What happened depends on which party has control over the House and the Senate.

Republicans are going to when more sets in the House and in the Senate. Neither party has an advantage over the other. The same thing will happen that happened in 1994 when Bill Clinton was President. People are changing from Democrats to Republicans because the Democrats are not doing what they want them to do and think the Republicans can do a better job.
