| Newsweek poll puts Democrats far ahead in Congress |
| 2006-10-22 |
| More than half of Americans, 55 percent, would like to see Democrats take control of Congress, according to a poll by Newsweek magazine released on Saturday. The poll of 1,000 likely voters found that 55 percent would choose a Democrat to represent their district if the vote were held now, and 37 percent said they would vote Republican. This includes 31 percent of white evangelical Christians, an increase of 6 points among that strongly Republican group over the 2004 elections. "Similarly, Democrats now lead among white Catholics, a group that went for President George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential election," Newsweek said in a statement. The poll, which had a margin of error of 4 percentage points, found that 44 percent of white Catholics planned to vote Democrat and 42 percent planned to vote Republican. |

| #4 Even if it wasn't so important to keep the most whacked-out inmate gang from running the asylum, the Hue and Cry™ and frenzied freakshow of the DhimmiDonks and the MSM "explaining" why they didn't take over either chamber would be worth the price of admission. It would be a fabulously funny two-fer. I hope to see it and will do my part. |

| #3 I sure hope you're right, guys. A consistent Republican message of "hold your nose and vote for us" will eventually fail. |

| #1 I doubt that any of the polls actually know. Most people I know will not speak with poll takers, and the MSM has become an echo chamber. The Pubs haven't been very impressive, but the Dhims are not serious. Ultimately, the "discouraged" Republican base will vote for the lesser of two evils except for the fringe which is never satisfied anyway. We still remember the cost of Perot in '92. |
