but …legacy!
Via NY Post:
Democrats are blaming low turnout for their Election Day defeats. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, for one, insists there was “no wave of approval” for the GOP.
In fact, a new Gallup poll suggests the tide of GOP victories corresponds to a shift in voters’ perceptions of the two major parties.By an overwhelming 50-to-36 percent margin, Gallup found that Americans want congressional Republicans — not President Obama — to steer the country.
Just two years ago, after the president’s re-election, voters trusted him over Republicans, 46 percent to 42 percent.
In fact, this year’s poll marks the biggest GOP advantage since Gallup started asking the question in 1992. At the same time, Gallup found favorable ratings for both Obama and his party have fallen to record lows.
