http://www.politicalwire.com/Democracy Corps conducted four focus groups in two congressional districts -- NY-25 and IL-10 -- that Republicans won in closely contested elections last November. The discussions "revealed that voters' frustrations in the battleground have only deepened since the last election. President Bush has weakened his party even further, and Republicans who continue to support him, especially on Iraq, should face real electoral consequences next year."
But they also found warning signs for Democrats: "Optimism for the new Congress is quickly waning. Many voters still express a wait-and-see attitude, but most have now returned to the same concerns we heard last year -- accomplishing nothing, career politicians just trying to get re-elected, do nothing but argue with each other, lobbyists, wasteful, paid too much money, and most of all, out of touch."
