1. Wow, Faux couldn't fudge that number to make it look a little better

When it's bad, it's bad. Even putting a point or two of lipstick on the pig, it is still oinking like crazy!

[ReaderSushi]

2. Wow.

We seriously need to tap into that 38% of No difference Independents.
We would have an utter landslide.

3. Don't you think if you thouight it would be better for the counttry

if Republicans kept control of Congress that you'd stop self-identifying yourself as a Democrat? Geesh.

[wyldwolf]

4. yes they do. But they expect some things from the Democrats

Things some on the left may not be willing to partake in.

[martymar64]

18. There you go again, bashing the left!

It's getting old, you know.

6. Hopefully we will see this at the polls.

[DoYouEverWonder]

17. Not unless we have a valid election

with verifiable totals.

[blondeatlast]

7. This year, we can easily take a progressive stance and win.

And I hope to hell we do.

8. Wow on fox??

:wow:

12. Not a surprise if you are familiar with pollsters

Many people are skeptical of anything that comes out of Fox, and rightfully so, but Opinion Dynamics (Fox's pollster) has been a pretty solid polling company for several years.

16. Actually, I expect Faux Noise to start trumpeting a Democratic landslide

It's viewers only function well in "victim" mode.....expect a whole bunch of self-pity and rage about how everyone is against" them.

Remember, one of their idiotic pundits (Barnes) actually wrote a book praising Chimpy as an outsider rebel....

[cindyw]

9. Quick vote now!

[depakid]

10. um.. so what relevance does this have to anything?

Meaningless horserace bullshit.

Even if the samples are represenatative (which they almost certainly aren't)- what does this say?

Nothing. It doesn't affect any of the races.

[slackmaster]

19. It makes some of us feeeeeeeeeeel good

It reminds me of the "polls" that say 75% or whatever of people feel that Congress is corrupt, but they keep electing the same representatives because THEIR person is OK.

:eyes:

[Nomen Tuum]

11. ...but Diebold prefers Nazi Republicans

If it's Us versus Diebold, guess who wins...

[Skittles]

13. too bad the voting machines do not

:o

[ginnyinWI]

14. question is: is this Rove-proof?

Is there something he or people like him can pull to turn the public away from the Dems? It doesn't look like it as of now; people have lost their faith in this administration--their credibility is shot. I hope.

15. The pundits say the public is wrong
