"Poll of 50 Most Competitive House Districts Brings Good News for Democrats"

I hope that the people of America so roundly reject this evil brand of Republicanism, that it will be doubtful the GOP will remain a viable party in American pollitics.

But, Democrats, don't be smug.

Your asses will be on the line, if you take power. You are going to have to do some very unpleasant things, or else you al will be relegated to the dust-bin of history as well.

The Progressive Daily Beacon: "Poll of 50 Most Competitive House Districts Brings Good News for Democrats":

Beekler seems to express the underlying mood of 2006 voters: When Greenberg and Bolger asked people who they preferred in a generic match up, i.e., a nameless, faceless Republican or Democrat, and then asked the question again citing the specific incumbent and challenger in the race, '[t]he numbers didn't change much and the voters seemed pretty firm about their choices.' That finding alone, of course, doesn't say too much about what is happening until it is revealed that since 2004, in these 50 districts, there has been an 18 point swing in favor of the Democratic candidate.

In 2004, among these same 50 districts, Republicans won by an average of 12 points. Today; however, Democrats hold a very strong 6 point lead over Republicans. When coupled with every known national poll that asks, generically, who people prefer and Democrats consistently come out ahead, and the finding by Greenberg and Bolger that the difference between the generic and named candidates changes the dynamics very little it becomes very obvious, very quickly that the GOP is in deep trouble in 2006.
