Poll Favoring Dems Means Little

from JoeUser Forums

WASHINGTON - In an ominous election-year sign for Republicans, Americans are leaning sharply toward wanting Democrats to take control of Congress, an AP-Ipsos poll finds. Democrats are favored 49 percent to 36 percent.

I'm not popping the champagne yet--it's a long way to November. Scandals of the control party notwithstanding, does not imply the Dems are innocent; there's plenty of on-the-take Dems from sleaze ball lobbyists. In addition, they still need a forceful message, which doesn't seem to be forthcoming.

No kidding. I won't believe "good" news until it comes to fruition.

I suppose you're implication is right: I'm guilty of stating the obvious.

I've read that 52% of the respondents to this poll were Democrats, and 40% Republican, but I can't find any support for this claim.

Does anybody have some details on the exact specifications of this poll?

Apparently not, and that's the problem with polls. And if what you heard is correct, then the poll is invalid.

Yes, it could be Stute's wishful thinking. as it is pretty unlikely AP would make that mistake.

This was uncalled for! "If" you "read" the entire post you would have seen him asking if anyone had any details.

I just took a poll in my home of 2 republicans, suprisingly 100% think the dems will not regain power.

Up here in Canada I just read the latest poll and it shows the Conservative party ahead of the Liberal party by a couple of percentage points in our upcoming election. The other thing happening to me right now is I need to take a crap.

Can you guess which of the above things has any real importance?

I'm sorry, you're right. I missed the smiley face at the end.

The issue is to have the voters see that having one party in power in both the Congress and the White House has not served this country well. A split in power will help and we need to get the lobbyists out of Washington.

A given, he definitely needs to lighten up and get off the kick of Bush-bashing.

You know, really I don't mind people coming down on GW. I "like" him and I did vote for him and I "do" stick up for him however....that does not mean I agree with him 100%. Some of the stuff he's done, I do not agree with. That being said, it's one thing to disagree with him. It's something else entirely to take every perceived ill and try to pin it on GW "every" time you open your mouth.

Most of the problem with polls, is that they MSM conducts them!

Yea, but that has been the case for a few years now.  However, the Liberals combine with the NDP to form a majority, right?  I think that is why Latour says NDP has the Liberals by the balls.
