SubscribeWP: Congress Nearly As Unpopular As Bush
From the DNC’s lickspittles at the Washington Post:
Report Sees Good News for Democrats in ‘08 House Races
By Chris Cillizza And Shailagh Murray
Sunday, June 24, 2007; A02President Bush has company at the bottom of the polls: The Democratic-led Congress is nearly as unpopular as he is. But look district by district, and the picture brightens for the new majority party. The first comprehensive survey of 2008 battleground House seats shows Democrats holding a distinct edge.
“With an unpopular President and an even more unpopular war, Republicans are ceding territory and opening new areas for Democrats,” reads an analysis of the numbers by Democracy Corps, an independent advisory group for Democrats led by political consultant James Carville and pollster Stan Greenberg, whose firm conducted the 70-district survey for the Corps. Greenberg is also the pollster for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and all of his congressional surveys are read closely by House campaign gurus in both parties.
Even in seats that Democrats narrowly lost in November, Greenberg found, the party holds a nine-point lead on average over GOP incumbents for the 2008 contest, suggesting that election momentum — at least at the district level — continues to shift in Democrats’ favor…
The Democracy Corps analysis included a big caveat: To capture additional districts, the Democratic Congress must show significant results, both in pressing the White House for a change of course in Iraq and in addressing domestic issues that voters care about. “These are both the best of times and challenging times for the Democrats,” the memo concluded.
Mind you, the Washington Post ran this press release from James Carville as a news item.
The Democratic-led Congress is nearly as unpopular as he is.
Er, no. The Democrat-led Congress is far more unpopular, according to all the recent polls, such as this one from Gallup:
Notice who sits at the top of this poll and who is at the bottom.
Also note that the Presidency is ranked above our one party media.
It’s no wonder when they constantly promulgate articles like this one from the Post.

Liberal Math,
25 is less than 14.
No wonder they are so screwed up.

Also note that church and organized religion, another evil according to the socialist elitist DemLibs, ranks far higher than Congress.

Well, 25 is nearly 14, depending on your point of view. After all, Gore and Kerry nearly won the last elections, while Bush finished next to last among the major candidates.

-’an analysis of the numbers by Democracy Corps, an independent advisory group for Democrats led by political consultant James Carville and pollster Stan Greenberg’-
Dem front group, generating propaganda for the DNC, analysis by two leading Dems - wow, no wonder they are desperate to make this disaster known as the 110th Congress appear as positive.
Must copy that chart - so uplifting to see that which will keep America, free, safe and sane are scoring higher than the loser Congress headed by the losers Pelosi and Reid.
Bias?!? I don’t see no stinkin’ bias.

That graph is what I have been trying to say for years….THAT is the majority I talk of…the one feared by the left….that graph speaks volumes on how the country as a whole thinks….and not the voice of far left blogs that the msm seems to think mirrors the nation’s opinion. Yeah….it makes me smile to see that I am correct!
Now, look at that picture…closely…..nancy is saying ” and Nagin sent me the eye of Katrina, and only wanted ten billion for it! See? I have it right here! Gore said I could borrow his lock box if I wanted to keep it safe! Wanna see my grasshoppers? I got some swell ones under my bed! Yeah, I keep em with my dollar off coupons from Wendy’s…..yubbayyubbayubbaa……….(it means douchebag in maasai.)

Hahaha! ‘The Nation’ spins this one by saying that the low rating for congress is because they don’t fight Bush’s policies hard enough.
