WASHINGTON - Just 20 days until Election Day, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds approval of the GOP-held Congress is at its lowest mark in 14 years, the Republican Party's favorability rating is at an all-time low and President George W. Bush's approval rating remains mired in the 30s -- all ominous signs for a party trying to maintain control of Congress.
In fact, according to the poll, Republicans are in worse shape on some key measures than Democrats were in 1994, when they lost their congressional majorities.

Rove's got a plan - life is good.
"The poll, which was taken of 1,006 registered voters from Oct. 13-16 and has a margin of error of plus-minus 3.1 percentage points, comes a few weeks after Republicans encountered a series of setbacks, including the release of an intelligence estimate calling the Iraq war a "cause célèbre" for Islamic militants, journalist Bob Woodward's unfavorable portrayal of the Bush administration's handling of Iraq, and the news that former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., had inappropriate correspondence with teenage congressional pages. "
Or not. Re 'likely.' MSM, dead men walking. May they fall over and rot in hell.
Did Tim Russert have his pathetic little dry erase board and marker to show everybody how to vote???
I think I read a story with a similar headline about how the Yankees were poised for a big win over the Tigers.
Well in three weeks they'll either cripple themselves patting themselves on the back or be eating a mountain of crow.
I'm not voting against my congress critter because of a national poll.
Wouldn't you like to know the zip code that was polled?
Since WHEN does MSNBC hava ANY credibility?
They don't.
Neither does, ABC, CBS, NBC or CNN.
They are going to have a big surprise on November 8th as they cry in their Starbuck's.
I have the feeling that the MSM is just setting the stage for the 'Republican's stole the election with voter fraud' liberal whining that is going to come when all these predictions don't pan out. The libs will all be fore-armed with pre-election poll "proof" that the election was stolen.

MSNBC has the lowest ratings of any cable news network or network period.
FOX reported yesterday that most of the Sainted Polls that are being spouted were SLANTED by the Pollsters talking to WAY MORE Democrats than Republicans. So...don't panic! I believe Rove and Bush when they say we will win. Rove hasn't even unleashed HIS October Surprise yet!
Guess I'll just stay home then,...
Ha, ha, ha,...if we tried these same suppression tricks on the donks every 2 years I bet they couldn't figure it out. I'm afraid they are a lot more desperate than I thought.
"I'm not voting against my congress critter because of a national poll." BINGO, Give the man a cigar. . .
Folks don't forget, this is 435 individual elections. Unless you poll each district the data is meaningless.
They give a lot of impressive sounding data, but, in the real world it is worthless.
BTW, I just mailed my absentee ballot this morning and will be waiting for election day.
