All signs point to major losses for the Democratic party in the US midterm elections this November. The recovery is slowing, while recent job figures have all but ended hopes that unemployment will fall fast enough to change voter's minds. But for President Barack Obama it really does not matter whether his party loses its congressional majority, or merely a large number of seats. In either case, the days of single-party government in Washington will be over.
所有跡象都表明,美國民主黨將在今年11月份的中期選舉中慘敗。美國經(jīng)濟復(fù)蘇放緩,同時最近公布的就業(yè)數(shù)據(jù)幾乎令民主黨的希望化為烏有:失業(yè)率下降速度不夠快,不足以使民意發(fā)生改變。但對于總統(tǒng)巴拉克?奧巴馬(Barack Obama)而言,無論民主黨是失去國會多數(shù)派的地位,還是僅丟掉大量席位,都無關(guān)緊要。無論出現(xiàn)哪種情況,美國單一政黨政府的時期都將結(jié)束。
