2. A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday also indicates that 7 in 10 Americans believe that the Democrats' loss of their 60 seat supermajority in the Senate is a positive move for the country.
Most people believe balance is a good thing, so it would make sense that a majority would think this.

I think Obama still has a strong approval rating in Mass, much better than the rest of the country.
