But I'm sure the [...] will try to make something of this. When Clinton was president, the [...] took over in '94--then he turned the economy around and won a second term. You're stupid if you count Obama out, you also know nothing about politics.

Washington (CNN) -- As voters across the country head to the polls Tuesday, one thing appears certain: Many of them are angry.

And that anger could shape the results of three of the most high-profile elections this year -- gubernatorial battles in New Jersey and Virginia and the fight for an open seat in New York's 23rd Congressional District.

National polls indicate that many voters are in a foul mood. The big question is whether that mood will continue into 2010, when the entire House of Representatives, more than a third of the Senate and more than a third of the governorships are up for grabs.

"We're in the middle, I think, of a political rebellion going on in America," House Minority Leader John Boehner said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." "And this rebellion is by people who really have not been actively involved in the political process and they don't really care if you're a Democrat or a Republican. They want to see people who are going to stand up and protect the future for our kids and grandkids."

They want to see people who are going to stand up and protect the future for our kids and grandkids."

The victory by the grassroots on the right over the moderates and the Republican Party structure in New York 23 could foreshadow more fights ahead for the GOP, as the party tries to rebuild following election defeats in 2006 and 2008. But the energy currently on the right is powerful, and that could come in very handy in next year's crucial elections.

Anger could also be a factor in New Jersey and Virginia, the only two states that hold gubernatorial contests in the year after a presidential election. For the past 32 years, the party that won the White House lost Virginia the next year. It's been the same story in New Jersey for the past two decades. History may repeat itself in 2009.

"Right now it looks like Republicans and conservatives are angry and energized to vote in the midterms next year," said Stuart Rothenberg, editor and publisher of the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report.

This wording of this question and the choices given are a prime example of mentalities that are dividing this country.

Republicans aren't repukes or repugs.
Democrats are not demoncrats or hmmm I can't think of another derogatory term that I have seen for them on SH.

These two parties are what have made American work so well for so long. The body can't be a whole without input from the left and right in order to reach a compromise.

Both parties have good people with good intentions. To name call and sling insults is adolescent to put it mildly.

Wake up doodle and stop being a divider.

A house divided cannot stand.

How ridiculous!! Your answer choices show the "open minds" of the liberals. Congress's approval rating is WHAT??? (majority dem) The President's approval rating? Dropping like the proverbial stone!! So you try to spin this however you want, but there are lots of us who DO know the truth!!

Being honest with yourself, if the races had gone the other way you would be posting polls that say nanny nanny boo boo, now wouldn't you!!
