NBC/WSJ poll: Dems seem likely to pick up seats - Politics - MSNBC.com


If, at least, the House is not won by the Dems, our nation in finsihed, and we do not wish to be a party to what this government is doing.

NBC/WSJ poll: Dems seem likely to pick up seats - Politics - MSNBC.com:

WASHINGTON - Less than two months until Election Day, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that more than half of registered voters disapprove of President Bush's job performance, even more disagree with his handling of Iraq and a strong plurality prefer a Congress controlled by the Democrats, all suggesting that Democrats are still poised to pick up seats in the upcoming midterms.

But the poll, which comes out more than a week after administration officials have made a series of speeches on terrorism and after gasoline prices have declined, also shows that Bush and the Republican Party have established a slightly stronger footing than they've held in months. Bush's job approval among registered voters is up two points, giving him his highest rating in the poll since November, and his handling of Iraq is up three, although both gains are within the margin of error.
