Fox News: Dems STILL crushing Reps 48%-32% for November Elections

[Grebrook]

Let me know if this was already posted, haven't seen it

According to the Republican Party's official propaganda outlet, the Democrats lead Republicans 48%-32% this fall. That's essentially as pathetic as it can get. The supposed "boost" Republicans got from the terror plot has failed to show through. Fox New's last poll showed Dems trouncing Republicans 48%-30%. Wow, they improved a miraculous 2 points.

If the election were held today, 48 percent of voters say they would support the Democratic candidate and 32 percent the Republican. Democrats have had anywhere from a 3-point to an 18-point edge among registered voters since the beginning of the year in the generic ballot test.

Nearly six out of 10 Americans give a positive rating to the quality of life in their area, with 11 percent saying it is "excellent" and 47 percent "good." A large minority describes things as either "only fair" (29 percent) or "poor" (12 percent).

Partisanship comes through here, as 78 percent of Republicans say the quality of life is at least good in their area, while 43 percent of Democrats say so. Furthermore, Republicans (20 percent) are four times as likely as Democrats (5 percent) to say things are "excellent."

President Bush’s approval rating is 38 percent, up from 36 percent at the beginning of August. The bad news for Republican candidates is that — two months before the midterm election — a 56 percent majority of voters disapproves of their party’s leader.

The president continues to receive strong positive marks from Republicans (78 percent approve), though even higher numbers of Democrats give him negative marks (88 percent disapprove).

Finally, if Democrats win control of Congress, nearly half of voters (47 percent) think they will focus on coming up with new ideas to move the country forward, and 30 percent think Democrats will spend the next two years investigating President Bush and trying to impeach him.

Haha, impeaching that idiot IS moving the country forward. It's win-win :)

6. The Squeeze Is On... Just Depends On How Long They Are Willing

to live "an illusion." Some will go down when they thought they should have stuck with that gut feeling, and get really torqued! Others will will feel the pinches but will ignore them, still the "die hards" will find a way to do a creative "spin job" then go back to prostrating themselves for their perceived good. Kind of like a bicycle wheel, round and round.

We suffer now in various ways, some are more kindly.
