More polls point to a GOP tidal wave of victory in November’s Congressional elections and U.S. President Barack Obama facing the humility of being a one-term president.

Just when Democrats thought ”things could not get worse,” even surveys from center-left media such as CNN show that the president may repeat former U.S. President Jimmy Carter’s embarrassment of being dumped after one term. An Associated Press report posted on YouTube states that Americans do not believe President Obama’s optimism.

The thunderbolt that struck the Democratic party last week was a Gallup Poll that gave the Republican party a record 10-point margin over the Democrats in a survey that simply asked respondents if they prefer a Democratic or Republican candidate. The GOP edge is the largest in 68 years, dating back to 1942, when the first similar poll was taken.

Similar result in polls by CBS, reflecting dissatisfaction with President Obama’s handling of the economy, health care and the oil spill, indicate that his efforts to impose an agreement on the Palestinian Authority and Israel will not turn the tide.

The CBS “pop poll” last Thursday revealed that two-thirds of Americans give President Obama a “failure” rating for mis-managing the economy, while nearly 60 percent also fail him for foreign policies. On health care, the failure rating soared to more than 78 percent, and 57.5 percent failed him for what used to be called the war on terrorism.

His overall rating: 8.28 percent gave him an “A’ rating, 7.69 percent voted a “B” or “C” rating, 22.25 percent gave him a “D” and 63.76 percent failed him.

The more scientific Gallup Poll revealed that only 43 percent approved of the president’s performance, while 49 percent registered disapproval. Even worse, the polls show that the number of Republicans who are “very” enthusiastic about voting this year is double the number of Democrats.

President Obama’s focus on foreign policy and his contradictory remarks on the Ground Zero Mosque have distracted his officials from American’s number one worry—the economy, according to the Politico.com website. 

American Thinker website news editor Ed Lasky recently noted that the “Jewish vote” still is a strong factor, but not because of the issue of Israel. He wrote that President Obama’s policies disproportionately affect Jews because they represent a large number of doctors, small business owners and high-income professionals, all of whom are adversely affected by economic policies.

However, a Republican tidal wave would clearly be to Israel’s advantage because it would oust dovish Democrats who are equated with President Obama’s ‘Illegitimate” label of Jews living in Judea and Samaria as well as large parts of Jerusalem claimed by the Palestinian Authority.

"Republicans' presumed turnout advantage, combined with their current 10-point registered-voter lead, suggests the potential for a major 'wave' election in which the Republicans gain a large number of seats from the Democrats and in the process take back control of the House," Gallup wrote.  

Earlier polls, by Rasmussen and McLaughlin, also showed that the Democrats are in big trouble, with Americans against President Obama’s policies on terrorism, immigration, federal spending and the economy in general. On Friday the unemployment rate edged up to 9.6 percent, and the figure does not include tens of thousands of Americans who are thought to be excluded from the statistics because they simply have given up looking for jobs.

As of now, the best the Democrats can hope for is to barely hold on to their majority in the Senate, with polls indicating they will maintain the slimmest of margins—51 against 49. The GOP currently holds only 41 Senate seats.

A complete GOP majority in both houses of Congress would represent nothing less than a political earthquake for a first-term president who won overwhelming support in the presidential as well as Congressional balloting only 22 months ago.

Friday’s CNN poll shows that the only favorable marks for President Obama concern the war in Iraq, but despite a favorable rating, 80 percent believe the war still is not over.
