Survey Says: Dems Should Lead


The new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds: "Americans — by a 16-point margin, 51 to 35 percent — now say the country should go in the direction in which the Democrats want to lead, rather than follow Bush. That's a 10-point drop for the president from a year ago, and the Democrats' first head-to-head majority of his presidency."

Furthermore, "[T]he Democrats hold a 16-point lead in 2006 congressional election preferences, 54 to 38 percent among registered voters, their best since 1984." [via Political Wire]

And Bushie's numbers are just as miserable. Only "42 percent of Americans approve of his work, 56 percent disapprove." Not since Nixon has a pResident done so poorly at the outset of his sixth year in office.

Let's face it folks, there are only going to be more Republican scandals, more Republican indictments, and more misery in the nation wrought by the Incompetent and Crooked Bush Regime between now and election day.

In other words, the prospects for the Dems can only get better. Granted, we'll still have to whip the Dems into shape, but that beats the hell out of living under the thumb of the Republican Taliban.
