| 2010 Elections: Republicans are in the Hunt |
| 2010-02-10 |
| The Republican Party has grown dramatically more competitive in public trust to handle the country's most pressing issues, capitalizing on seething economic discontent and doubt about President Obama's performance to challenge the Democrats in midterm election preferences. Among registered voters in this ABC News/Washington Post poll, 48 percent say they'd support the Republican candidate in their congressional district if the midterm elections were today, 45 percent the Democrat. That's a rare level of GOP support in nearly three decades of polls. |

| #1 I get the feeling its an incumbant thing. Out here, R's are on the block as well. Generally we thought well until the state decided to raise taxes and cut school activities without addressing other expenditures first. I'm not completely against low income food assistance, but some of the products which qualify makes a person think, "Hey, if they are so low on cash why are they getting discounts for gourmet pizza places?" They are addressing the concept of if your going to get UA from the state ya gonna have to give a UA to the state. Its a start I guess. Point is, Republicans may be more trusted, but if this pork your children spending isn't taken care of it will not matter how much tax revenue they generate, and then nobody is safe. |
