Hey, whatever turns you, um, not off...
The poll finds that there’s been a sharp drop in the number of Independents who see the parties as working together. Only one-fourth of Indys say this, a big tumble from the 49% who said this in January.
Despite this, however, approval of Obama among independents has held steady, and approval of Congress among them has jumped substantially. A solid majority of 56% of independents approve of Obama’s performance. And 47% of independents approve of Congress’ performance, up 15 points since January.
I don’t want to conclude too much from this. But it’s pretty hard to reconcile numbers like these with the claim that partisanship is a “turnoff” to those much-discussed Indy voters.
