Dems crush GOP in new Gallup poll

By: Steve Benen on Tuesday, September 25th, 2007 at 7:01 PM - PDT Most of the recent national polls have shown widespread discontent with politicians in Washington. Both the White House and Congress are wildly unpopular, leading a lot of conservatives to boast that the new Democratic congressional majority has already lost the electorate. After all, if Americans liked what they saw from the new Democratic Congress, the institution’s approval ratings wouldn’t be so dreadfully low.

As Republican talking points go, this might sound vaguely persuasive, if it weren’t completely wrong.

Public attitudes toward the two major political parties have not changed much in recent months. That’s good news for the Democratic Party, which moved into a superior image position when compared to the Republican Party more than a year ago. Americans not only continue to view the Democratic Party more favorably than the Republican Party in general terms, but they also choose the Democratic party as the preferred party for maintaining the nation’s economic prosperity. And, in a departure from recent history, Americans see the Democrats as the political party better able to protect the country from terrorism.

1. Was that after bush made his

prediction that repukes would win after a tough fight?

[Dammit Ann]

4. wow.

I felt it, but to SEE it. wow.

[Trajan]

2. It's time the Democrats STOP PUSSYFOOTING ....

And do something they haven't done in a LONG while ... CONTROL THE DEBATE !

It was a mistake to focus exclusively on George W. Bush, even with all his failings .... He wasnt alone in this nonsense .... His party, the 'Rubber Stamp Congress', signed off on his every misstep and misdirection ....

The GOP is at fault ..... Conservatives ARE AT FAULT .....

Conservative philosophy is a losing philosophy ... Shout it from the rooftops .....

The Dems have run a piss poor PR campaign for many years ... WAKE THE FUCK UP !

9. Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding! The Dems have to take it directly to

the repukes. They're kinda doing it now in their usual namby pamby, lily-livered way. But they need to be way more agressive and let the American people know that repukes are purposely opposing legislation that the American people have desired since the repukes first gained the majority. And that it just isn't going to happen until they have a clear majority that can defeat their obstructionism.

3. I guess they didn't 'catapult their propaganda' enough.

HAHA! :D

7. Yes but, George will still have to bomb Iran upon his exit, it's in his blood...

8. 53% favorable for the Democratic Party doesn't look so good

I hate to throw cold water on yet another potential self-congratulatory DU hug-fest, but we need to do something about that. We've been bleeding members here in California at about twice the rate the Reps have. That's been going on for several election cycles.
