In fact, his numbers right (to include unemployment numbers) are exactly where Reagan's were at this time in his first term. 16 months is an eternity in politics.

Yep, that's the way I see it too. All the chest beating McConnell did about "victory" for the GOP and the Tea Party, just confirmed my suspicions that these people are idiots, or at least they think we are. Nobody on either side "won" anything in that mess. The cuts will be insufficient, the ceiling is raised, and there will be no real payment on the debt......What has been won? What "victory"?
I think Karl should have included a "None of the above." choice in his poll.
