110th Congress Approval Hits Single Digits

(Politico-The Crypt)
…
Republicans, eager to portray Democratic leaders as running the Congress into the ground, pounced on the numbers [by the new poll]. But the negative perceptions of Congress as a whole do not seem to be greatly affecting views of the majority party.

Democrats still enjoy a 12 percentage point lead on Rasumssen’s generic congressional ballot, despite the negative views of Congress as a whole.

In addition, Democrats can point to a NBC/Wall Street Journal poll taken in mid-June, which found that by a 52 percent to 33 percent margin, people said they would rather see Democrats retain control of Congress in November.

That 19-point spread favoring Democrats is the largest recorded for either party since the question was first asked in 1994.

Those numbers, however, did not stop eager Republicans from seizing on the dismal generic congressional approval ratings.
…

Democrats upsetting congressional races during the recent primaries are another area to point to.

Fit fit, apologies, you slide your post in without me seeing it.

That drop would be due to the pending FISA bill. The existing low rating would be disappointment over failure to do anything about the Iraq war. Neither of those are huge issues for me…

Crosstabs and other information are usually available if you’re willing to pay.

America is still a center-right country. Republicans are suffering from a failure of governance, not ideology. They have performed very poorly as the ruling party. They have consistantly abandoned conservative princples once elected into office. The rank and file of the party are too distracted by partisan politics to hold them accountable.

The democrat leadership in congress is: Turbin Durbin (traitor), Leaky Leahy (traitor), Rock-e-feller (traitor), Hanoi John (traitor), led by Reid (mentally ill/traitor).

I’m getting exactly what I expected when they were put in charge in Jan 2007, a crashed stock market, a crashed housing market, rising unemployment and $4.11 per gallon gas.

So far the hero’s in the military have fought off AQ and democrats to the point of winning the war in Iraq. I still expect the democrats to surrender the victory the first chance they get. They seem to love the feel of the blood of millions on they’re hands. Since those who vote for them share the blood it may not be dripping blood, just blood stained hands.

Fit Fit, INRE your #4, can’t say as I disagree with any point. I do tend to think the nation is leaning more left of center than right, but we won’t know that until November. So frankly, I hope you’re correct.

The only thing that the Democrats have working for them…….. is that they only have to run against the Republicans. Try setting the bar a bit higher and they might lose. In the next election I expect them to pick up 5 senate and 10 house seats, and of course the White House.
