WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than half of Americans, 55 percent, would like to see Democrats take control of Congress, according to a poll by Newsweek magazine released on Saturday.

The poll of 1,000 likely voters found that 55 percent would choose a Democrat to represent their district if the vote were held now, and 37 percent said they would vote Republican.

This includes 31 percent of white evangelical Christians, an increase of 6 points among that strongly Republican group over the 2004 elections.

"Similarly, Democrats now lead among white Catholics, a group that went for President George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential election," Newsweek said in a statement.

at the expense of the poor isn't really the way to go?

2. That's good news

But I've learned to never put anything into the "duh!" box and forget about it.

4. Good. But don't relax. Pretend we're far behind.

Don't get complacent.
