Polls have demonstrated that the Republican Candidate, Scott Brown, is either ahead or even in the race. President Obama will be visiting the area to help out the Democratic Candidate, Martha
Coakley.
Unfortunately for Democrats, it seems that the wind in their sails, with Obama's rise, is dissipating. This is probably due to voter dissatisfaction with progress made by the Obama administration. Obama's popularity is falling, so it is to be questioned whether his presence in Massachusetts will actually help Coakley.
Obama's popularity has fallen among younger voters in particular, and this is probably because he made a few promises that quite simply have not been kept, although there are, of course, obstacles that prevented him from keeping them.
The possibility of low voter turnout for the Democrats, as they try to maintain their majority in Congress, is a serious threat to them. Obama is being criticized by both the left and the right.
The Democrat's campaign is trying to encourage a high Democrat turnout by parading the polls that say they're in trouble.
I'm not really sure what to think of the whole article. Clearly the Obama administration isn't as efficient as it claimed it was going to be, but to be perfectly fair, what administration has been? Every administration encounters problems, and every single election the American population expects some terrific revolution and efficiency to be increased, and it never is. As to whether or not Coakley is elected or not, I don't know what effect Obama's help will have. I think it will probably work, but once again, what do I know?
