81% of Americans say the Economy is in Poor Shape - a new CNN/Opinion research poll released today says only 18% believe the economy is in good shape. 44% say the economy is in very poor shape.
The economy remains the number one issue to voters and how they respond to new economic policies planned to be unveiled by President Obama this week could determine who wins control of Congress in the mid term elections on November 2.
The little bit of good news in the poll for Democrats is that 44% of voters blame the economic problems on the Republicans and 35% blame Democrats. CNN.com has more here.

MDP Chair Susan Turnbull Guest on "All Things Political with George Wenschhof"
George Wenschhof
I am pleased to have Maryland Democratic Party Chair; Susan Turnbull as my guest on the premier of "All Things Political with George Wenschhof". The show will air weekly on Mondays right here on my website. In addition to local, state and federal elected officials, my guests will include candidates for office and community activists.
I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Ms. Turnbull. It is easy to see why she is in the position she is in as she is both well informed and very likable. During the show, Ms. Turnbull talks about the upcoming elections in the state of Maryland and the Maryland coordinated campaign. She goes on to discuss races they have targeted such as the Maryland 1st Congressional district where Democratic incumbent Frant Kratavil will likely face Republican Andy Harris.
My next guest will be Frederick County, Maryland Sheriff Chuck Jenkins (R) and the following week my guest will be Frederick County, Maryland Board of Commissioners President Jan Gardner (D).
We hope you enjoy the program. We also want to hear feedback and suggestions from you. If you have a comment you would like to share with us, please leave it by clicking on "Comment" below or by sending me an email at GeorgeWenschhof@gmail.com
