Majority of Americans lose faith in Obama, hope for a GOP win

The great American correction is right on schedule:

The majority of Americans — nearly 60 percent — lack faith in President Obama, according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll published on Tuesday.

The results are the exact opposite of what voters said in a similar poll at the beginning of Obama's presidency 18 months ago. Then, approximately 60 percent said they were confident with his decision making.

And voters, by an 8-point margin, said they hope Republicans take control of Congress. More than 60 percent of voters also said they would probably not support their current representative. Just 26 percent said they would.

The anti-incumbent sentiment could affect the outcome of November's elections when all 435 seats in the House or Representatives are up for grabs in addition to 36 of the 100 Senate seats.
