Chimpy’s sets an all-time low job approval rating in Tennessee but more importantly Tennessee voters’ party affiliation has flipped. In 2004 there were more self-identified Republicans in the Volunteer State, today there are more Dems. Given President Bush’s falling approval ratings in Tennessee (34% vs. 42% a year ago), the unpopularity of the war in Iraq, and dissatisfaction with response to Hurricane Katrina, Tennessee – once solidly Republican – may be shifting toward the “blue” end of the spectrum. Also, in the fall of 2004 – when President Bush won handily – some 35% of Tennesseans identified themselves as Republicans, … Continue reading Tennessee Turns Blue

The Heartland rejectsChimpy. Clear majorities of Michiganders say President George W. Bush’s new Iraq strategy won’t work, and they doubt that pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq would increase the risk of terrorist attacks in the United States, a Detroit Free Press-Local 4 Michigan Poll shows.
