Today, there are a slew of new polls out showing that Democratic prospects continue to brighten for November's elections. First, we have a Wall Street Journal/NBC Poll showing that Democratic voters are far more energized than their Republican counterparts for the election. Second, we have a
USA Today/Gallup poll showing that the Senate may also go Democratic this fall. Third, we have the latest
Time poll showing the president's approval rating down to 36%, a number that would clearly be a major drag on his party next month.
So what do we do? To me, with the wind at our backs, this is an indication we need to redouble our efforts for victory. There is no question it is easier to knock on doors, make phone calls and get out the vote when your candidate is ahead, or gaining. That is the postition we find ourselves in today. I will be working hard each and every day toward that goal, and I do not assume anything or take anything for granted. The stakes are too high for complacency.
