Can The Dems Avoid a November ‘Bloodbath’? Newsweek’s Daniel Stone: He’s (the President) at 47%. That’s down just one percentage point since we measured it several months ago. And what that tells us is that now that we are in sight of the mid-term elections, we can compare it historically. And Democrats now are in better shape than they were in 1994 when they lost over 50 seats. And they’re in better shape than the Republicans were in 2006 when they lost over 30 seats. So, if we’re talking about a bloodbath, and that kind of narrative with the Democrats losing everything, these numbers certainly challenge that and seem to suggest that the Democrats are in better shape than we’ve been told so far.  (via Stone’s appearance on MSNBC this morning)
