Nate Silver's Final Senate Forecast - The Dems Hold, But Just Barely

Interestingly, MSNBC is reporting the following based on the latest polls:

Here’s another irony: Regarding the man who promised change in the presidential election two years ago, well, voters want more change from him. Per the poll, a combined 63% -- including 47% of Democrats -- say they want to see “a great deal of change” or “quite a bit of change” in the way Obama has been leading the country. Hart attributes this desire of change, especially from the Dems, to the state of the economy. But it’s also clear that Obama is having trouble with the middle of the country. Just 32% of self-identified independents approve of his job, and his job-approval among moderates is at 49%, which is lower than in past NBC/WSJ polls.

The Liar-in-Chief has clearly made a huge mess of things. Rather than congratulating himself in his own mind, he ought to have been listening to his party's base. Voters in 2008 wanted a leader and that is NOT what we received.

Obama and the Dems governed like Republicans and GOP policies hurt the overwhelming majority of people in this country.
