Chris Wilson: “2010 Shaping Up to be a Year Where the Political Winds Will Favor Republicans”

Wilson Research Strategies founder and CEO Chris Wilson gives his assessment on the upcoming midterm elections:

“President Obama’s job approval ratings have already fallen below the 60% approval mark that has generally protected the sitting President’s party in Congress. Based on current trends, Obama is likely to have approval ratings in the mid-fifties if not worse.
