Obviously, the Media is the Media and will brainlessly regurgitate what news will be good for Republicans (Zombie Lies in honor of Atrios), but if they want the NJ and VA losses to be a referendum on Obama, shouldn't this chart be the biggest indicator that Obama remains exceptionally popular:
Corzine had a favorable/unfavorable of 39.7/51.4, which is actually an improvement from the summer time! That horrific number is actually better than his job approval/disapproval which sits at an amazing 38.1/55.9.
The guys lost by four percentage points and accrued 45% of the total vote. One could argue that party ID helped Corzine overcome those horrible numbers, but the fact that Corzine was even being considered to potentially win the race has to be a testament to Obama's (and D's in general) popularity. If nothing else, at least RELATIVE popularity.
