Byron York points out that the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll contains very bad news across the board for President Obama and the Democratic Party.

York writes:

The results of the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll are a major warning sign for Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress. On some key issues, the gains that Democrats had made on Republicans in the last couple of years have disappeared, and the GOP has begun to reassert itself. In other policy areas, traditional Democratic leads are diminishing.

According to the poll, approval of the Democrats' and President Obama's handling of the federal deficit, taxes, health care, and the economy have all seen very large declines.

During both the presidential campaign and much of his time in office, President Obama's team has made much of his connection to Abraham Lincoln, but the Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll seems to indicate that they may have ignored one of Lincoln's most famous sayings:

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."

Someone should remind Rahm Emanuel.
