Control of congress
What is your preference for this year's election a Republican or Democratic controlled congress?
3/06 1/06
Republicans 37 38
Democrats 50 47
Clearly Democrats are gaining in the polls. Not only is GWB numbers tanking the Republicans in Congress are fast losing their stranglehold on the American people.
The question is : when will the Democratic leaders in Congress and the country step up to the plate and start shouting from the roof tops that the Emperor has no clothes.
The White House is in disarray and badly needs a new team ( I hope they stick with the status quo) but how can the country survive 3 more years of this ineptitude?
Republican pollster McInturff puts it this way: "It is hard to pivot ... when every day the core decision in your presidency is Iraq" -- and the situation there appears grim.
Looking ahead to the midterm elections in November, the poll shows that 50 percent prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress versus 37 percent who want it controlled by Republicans. McInturff says it's a "problematic environment" for the Republicans. "You are working harder as a Republican [candidate] because you are pushing uphill."
