Further erosion of Obama's popularity between now and next November could prove damaging to the Democratic Party. First-term presidents who had sub-50% approval ratings at the midterms -- including Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton -- saw their parties suffer large congressional seat losses. In contrast, a recovery in Obama's approval rating -- particularly to above 60% -- could limit Democratic losses.

What Republicans who think there will be a repeat of '94 should bear in mind is that you'll be hard pressed to get elected based on your "family values" with the behavior of Ensign, Sanford, and Vitter still fresh in Americans' minds. It also probably won't help that the GOP continually breaks it's own records for low approval ratings.
