- The same polling that showed Democrats trailing republicans in an election with generic candidates 47-43, also showed Democrats in Congress with a 32% approval rating and republicans with only a 23% approval rating. I'd say "What the fuck?', but I used it in the negative post and frankly, the psyche of the average American voter is sometimes beyond words.
- 47%-43%? Pshaw--them's within the margin of error numbers.
- Six months until November 4th--how many people had President Obama losing six months out in 2012? A lot can change.
- Thanks to gerrymandering, the odds of the Democrats winning back the House this year were pretty much zero anyway. Further, there's very little chance republicans are going to win by a sixty seat advantage again (let's hope those aren't famous final words), and their margin of seats is really irrelevant. They march lockstep and whether they have a 10 seat margin or a 40 seat margin they still aren't enacting any progressive legislation in this millennium.
- The Dems are looking at a 50% chance of holding onto the Senate, and considering how favorable the map was for republicans this year, it's nothing short of a miracle.
- As for the who'd be best for the economy polling...I got nothing. Hell,the only hope we have is to find our very own Liberal Koch Brothers (oxymoron alert!) who can spend billions on ads showing what pre-bad Christmas dinner induced nightmares Ebeneezer Scrooge assholes republicans are.
- The republicans are running on Benghazi (nobody outside of three old farts in Peoria gives a shit) and how bad Obamacare is (the truth seems to be willing out)
Peace,
