摘要
2010年中期选举是共和党自1994年国会选举以来取得的最为重要的一次胜利,本次选举也是最为重要的一次国会选举。民主党选举失利的原因在于:经济状况未能如期改善引起了选民的愤怒和"反在职者"情绪、保守的茶党运动的兴起和蔓延、两党选民之间的"投票热情差距",以及中间选民转而支持共和党。共和党控制众议院打破了民主党同时控制白宫和国会的政治格局,将对奥巴马今后两年的政策议程形成牵制,并对美国两党政治和选举政治产生一定的影响。
The midterm election of 2010,in which GOP has won the greatest victory since 1994,has turned to be crucial.The loss of congressional seats of the Democratic Party is the result of voter's outrage at the sluggish economic recovery,'anti-incumbent' political sentiment,and the rise of the conservative Tea Party.The 'enthusiasm gap' between Republican and Democratic voters,and most independent voters' swinging towards the Republican Party also contributed to the Democratic defeat.The Republican takeover of the House breaks the Democrats' control of both the White House and the Congress and can sharply curb President Obama's legislative agenda over the next two years.The result of the election would affect American party politics and electoral politics.
