>Credit rating downgraded, 51% of voters opposed Obama's re-election. After the debt limit negotiations between the White House and Congress reached a deadlock, which resulted in the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, two latest polls showed that voters believe that current members of Congress are not eligible for re-election. If this sentiment persists, it may affect the growth and decline of the two parties in 2012. The latest results of the "USA Today/Gallup Poll" show that only 24% of the people surveyed believe that most members of Congress deserve re-election, which is the "lowest number" since the poll began asking this question in 1991. The view that current members of Congress should not be re-elected has reached its highest peak in 20 years. This phenomenon may become a trend indicator in the 2012 election. USA Today reported that the above-mentioned figures are similar to those before the 1994, 2006, and 2010 elections. In 1994, the Republicans gained control of the House of Representatives. In 2006, the Democratic Party captured control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. In 2010, the Republicans gained control of the House of Representatives. However, this poll is also paradoxical. 56% of voters believe that the congressman they support deserves re-election. This poll also shows that President Obama's position is unstable. 51% of voters believe that President Obama does not deserve to be re-elected; 47% of voters believe that Obama should be re-elected. If Obama were to run against an undecided Republican presidential candidate, his vote share would be 49% to 45%, leaving Obama with less than 50% of the vote. A poll conducted by the CNN/ORC international polling agency showed that only 41% of voters surveyed believed that the members of Congress representing their districts were worthy of re-election. This was the first time that the poll was below 50%. 49% of voters do not support the re-election of the constituency’s public opinion representative. A USA Today poll shows that former Massachusetts Governor Romney leads other Republican presidential candidates in support; closely followed by Texas Governor Rick Perry (17%). Perry may announce his candidacy on the 14th. Texas Congressman Ron Paul received an approval rating of 14%, ranking third; Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Buckman received an approval rating of 13%, ranking fourth. A CNN poll said that although the Republican Party seems to have the upper hand in recent national debt negotiations, it has lost the support of many voters. Voters' "disapproval rate" for the Republican Party reached its highest peak; 59% of voters said they had a "poor impression" of the Republican Party, the highest level since 1992.
