In poll, Republicans gaining political ground on Obama

Republicans have significantly narrowed the gap with Democrats on who
is trusted to deal with the country's problems and have sharply reduced
several of President Obama's main political advantages, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The survey paints a portrait of a restless and dissatisfied electorate
at the beginning of a critical election year. More than seven in 10
Americans disapprove of the job Congress is doing, and as many say
they're inclined to look for new congressional representation as said
so in 1994 and 2006, the last times that control of Congress shifted.
Asked how they would vote in the November House elections, Americans
split evenly -- 46 percent siding with the Democrats, 46 percent with
the Republicans. As recently as four months ago, Democrats held a 51 to
39 percent advantage on this question.
