Okay so we have to base this on a Daily Kos poll .. but it was a poll that even shocked the Daily Kos. They did a survey asking the following: "In the 2010 Congressional elections will you definitely vote, probably vote, not likely vote, or definitely will not vote?"

When you break it down between party lines:

Among self-identified Republican voters, 81% are either definitely voting next year or "probably" voting, while 14% are not likely to vote or will definitely not vote.

Among self-identified Independent voters, 65% are either "definitely" voting next year or probably voting, while 23% are not likely to vote or will definitely not vote.

Now for the self-identified Democrat voters: 56% say that they are definitely or probably voting. A startling 40% said they are not likely or definitely will not vote.

This does not look good for Democrats and Obama in 2012. If these numbers hold Republicans and Independents will be far more likely to head to the polls next November ... and these two groups are not all that thrilled with The Community Organizer.
