NPR Survey: Brave New World in America's Top 50 Districts
This is a very special study conducted solely in the 50 most competitive House seats that will determine the outcome in 2006. Only 10 of the districts are currently held by a Democrat, while 40 are held by Republicans. Voters in these 50 districts gave 58 percent of their votes to George Bush (over Kerry in 2004) and 56 percent to Republican candidates for Congress. But as Congress is recessing for the summer, Republican candidates (polled by name) are getting only 43 percent of the vote. The results are breathtaking and suggest that in the real world where the campaigns are fighting it out for votes, Democrats are in a very strong position to hold virtually all their seats, while the Republicans could readily lose most of theirs. Clearly, the probability of a Democratic takeover in November is rising, and is more likely than not.

ReplyDeleteI'm angrier than Al Gore at a Clinton barbecue that the Commie Jack Murtha is coming to our area to spout his lies about our Sainted Congressman Sherwood!! I've had it up to here with these Vietnam Vets who come home brainwashed by Ho Chi Minh and turn on our heroic troops. In my day we had loyalty to our fighting men... if you saw plunder or rape and didn't want to participate you kept your damned mouth shut--and you loved it!!! Now these whiny Veteran lawmakers are trying to take the fun out of war!!! Every tired out GI JOe needs some recreation to look forward to on the battlefield, but Commie Jack and his brainswashed buddies shed their cowardly tears and ruin it for everybody!!! And don't you lovers of Mao and Stalin give me that old worn out crap about Bush not serving in Vietnam--at least he wasn't brainwashed! I've had it up to my battle scarred neck with all the crybabies out there!!! I'll place my trust in the handling of our military in the hands of Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney anyday over the Commie creeps who want to take the white and the blue out of old glory!!!! To my young upstanding friend Dr. Rick, as long as we have bloggers of your character, Thelma Jean and I will sleep well at night.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate it
