Obama's Tanking Approval Numbers Could Help Republicans Nab 9 or 10 Senate Seats in November

Look, Republicans need six seats to retake the Senate. I'm on record predicting a blowout in the upper chamber. And now here comes Sean Trende with an extremely harsh analysis for Democrat election fortunes this fall. At RealClearPolitics, "Obama's Job Approval Points to 2014 Trouble for Democrats" (via Memeorandum).

Read it at the link. Trende constructed nifty graphs indicating the vulnerability of Democrat seats depending on the president's approval rating. If Obama's in the low 40s in November, "Republicans can win 54 or 55 seats."
