GOP makes major gains in swing states

Democrats may be cheered by the fact that President Bush's approval ratings are at their lowest point in his presidency and that his re-elect numbers aren't great. But they have to be worried about a pro-Republican shift in voters' party identification.

It may not seem dangerous that, according to a new Pew Research Center poll, 31 percent of registered voters regard themselves as Democrats, 30 percent as Republicans and 39 percent as Independents, but that's a 5-point GOP switch from the average taken during the period 1997 to 2000. <snip>

What may be dangerous to Bush is that he has lost ground among independents, who split 51-49 in his favor in 2000, but now divide 52-48 against him. <snip>

Extravagant Democratic attacks on Bush's credibility and trustworthiness have caused no dents in his reputation. An October Zogby International poll showed that 56 percent of voters are "proud" to have Bush as president and only 26 percent "ashamed." By 64 percent to 31 percent, they consider him "honest and trustworthy." <snip>

Comment:"Extravagant Democratic attacks on Bush's credibility and trustworthiness have caused no dents in his reputation" - the truth will out once the media start telling the truth.

1. Well, papau. how long have we been following this media?

Who thinks they have changed? I'd say only a darn few will leave the comfort of whoredem for this election. We can't afford to make even a few slips next year.

2. Kondracke is the GOP's house dem - I thought the latest in Fox thinking

interesting.

This is a very weak piece of PR to push Bush's inevitable election noise.

And I spent a lot of time in my youth in Illinois!
