Russert Reports 48% Want Dems After '06 Election
Edited on Wed Oct-12-05 05:39 PM by NJCher
Biggest change ever. Reported on NBC Nightly News.
Edited to add: 36% want Republicans after '05 Election.

Another figure: 2 per cent of African Americans approve of bush.

6. Democrats need to come out swinging or else.
You have to fight hard and dirty to win.

12. Hard, Yes....Dirty...No
Smart...Yes. Pro=Active...Yes. The Repukes have gotten away with being filthy for decades because they built an almost impermeable infastructure.

5. The loss of republican support is a deal but 48% wanting Dems
is pretty much the same place that's been since the selection

7. Considering Dems aren't doing anything to deserve that high of a vote
That's fantastic news.

Hey look I'm gonna vote and campaign and do my part to ensure Dem victory across the board, and many Democrats are doing their part, but overall I gotta see more out of them to know that my work, OUR work is worth the effort.

8. You meant 2 African Americans, not 2%, right?
Which would be, of course, Condi and Kenneth Blackwell. I guess even Colin doesn't approve of bush anymore...

9. I may be mistaken, but
but I think it was 39% wanted the repukes to lead the country. Anyway, he said there was a 9% margin, the widest in 10 years. And, 50% of REPUKES believe DeLay and Frist are guilty of crimes. Larger number of Dems, of course. The poll numbers are incredible....also gave poll numbers for problems of energy and gas prices.

You need to watch NBC tonight if the nightly news hasn't come on yet in your time zone.

BTW, the lead story is the LITMUS TEST FOR RELIGION, with this nominee, when repukes said John Roberts's Catholicism was off-limits for questioning. Made the double standard clear. Brian Williams is my new hero.

10. 48% - 36% - 16%
That 16% I believe are the middle of the road swing voter that so much was made of during the last election. 15% of them broke in Bushes favor according to the Diebold machines. Republicans I believe are registered at a rate of 37% in this country. In a good year for them it is 37.9% in a bad year for them it is 37.1% But they tend to stay at 37% regardless. They have lost 1% of their support in this poll. Dem's are holding consistent at 48%. What we need is to get a voice, and take advantage of the opportunities that are laid at our feet. They were not able to get the idea out that poverty exist in this country even after Katrina. When opportunity knocks, you need to get off of you butt and answer the door, and the Dem's are not doing it. If the entire WHIG, PNAC, Tom DeLay, half of the SCOTUS, and the elected state officials of Ohio all get convicted and given life sentences, we need to use that. If one Dem's says that justice was served and we need to move forward I will puke. They need to remind America and the likes of FOX, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reiley that Republicans are the party that hates America. Bill Clinton's penis is still fair game 5 years after he went out of office, George Bush's penis envy should be fair game 5 years later also.
