1. Small government, constitutional candidates won Senate primaries in Colorado and Connecticut over establishment Republicans.

The New York Times reported the results:

Colorado
Ken Buck 209,967 (52%)
Jane Norton 197,143 (48%)

Connecticut
Linda McMahon 58,206 (49%)
Rob Simmons 33,358 (28%)
Peter Schiff 26,956 (23%)

Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, noted:

"The voters favored candidates who are unfettered to Washington Republicans. Republican primary voters are continuing to move the Republican Party significantly to the right. The 2011-12 Congress is likely to be the most conservative ever. Thanks to President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Majority Leader Reid, the conservative movement has been re-launched stronger than even in the Reagan years."

2. The latest Rasmussen poll finds that 57% of likely voters--including 73% of independents--describe the Democratic congressional agenda as extreme.

"These new findings are perhaps not surprising," Rasmussen Reports explains, in light of the high dissatisfaction with Obamacare, the bailouts of the automobile and financial industries, and the Stimulus Bill.

3. A new Gallup Poll finds that President Obama has majority support from the people on only 1 out of 13 issues.

On race relations, 52% approve of the President is handling race relations, 38% disapprove, and 10% are undecided.

Pluralities, but not majorities, approve of what Obama is doing in education, energy, and fighting terrorism.

A plurality disapproves of his handling of foreign affairs.

Majorities disapprove of the President’s actions on the environment, Iraq, Afghanistan, the economy, taxes, the federal deficit, health care, and immigration.

On health care, 40% approve of what he has done, 57% disapprove, and 3% are undecided. This matches closely with the Rasmussen survey that finds 55% of the people want to repeal Obamacare, while 38% want to keep it and 7% are undecided.

On the economy, 38% approve of the President, 59% disapprove, and 3% are undecided.

On the deficit, 31% support Obama, 64% oppose him, and 5% are not sure.

And on immigration, just 29% like what he has done, while more than double that number--62%--dislike his polices and 9% are undecided.

4. The latest Gallup Poll found the public approval rating for Congress remains at historic lows.

Only 19% approve of the job Congress is doing. 75% disapprove and 6% are undecided.

Among Democrats, a lower than expected 38% approve of Congress. Only 14% of independents and 5% of Republicans give their approval.

"The 5% of Republicans who currently approve of Congress is also the absolute lowest approval rating from members of either party that Gallup has found since at least 1993," Lydia Saad, Senior Editor of Gallup, remarked.

This year’s rating is the lowest seen in any midterm election since 1974.

"Low congressional job approval is generally associated with large seat losses by the majority party in midterm elections, a sign of potential trouble for the Democrats in 2010," Saad noted.

5. In races for governor, Rasmussen Reports finds solid Republican leads in 14 states and solid Democratic leads in 3 states.

Four states are leaning to the GOP and three are leaning to the Democrats.

There are currently 13 states that are rated as toss-ups.
