The March of bad news for the Democratic party continuances. On Sunday Rasmussen reported the number of people identifying themselves as Democrats was at a seven year low and that drop has happened every since Barack Obama was elected. Currently, 35.5% of American adults still admit that they are Democrats. It is still 1.5% more than the GOP but last December the number was. That’s down from 36.0 a month ago and from 37.8% in October. Last December the numbers were 41.6% for the Democrats and 32.8% for the GOP an 8.8% difference. Growing faster than the republicans are the "other" category which includes independents. Other grew by 5 percentage points from 25.6 to 30.6%
Yesterday Rasmussen followed up with the fact that 58% of U.S. voters now say Congress is doing a poor job. That’s the highest negative finding since Rasmussen began asking the question in November 2006.

That’s good but the only problem I see is the repubs have a tendency to coast once they seem to be ahead. They did it when they had control of congress and IMHO a lot of them are doing it now. They need to start explaining to the regular Joe Schmoe the way Glenn Beck does, and then explain how they want to roll it back. They need to fight 0bamacare and they can’t just concede races like the one in MA.
Our governors race in Michigan just got a whole lot better today when the strongest democrat candidate dropped out.
The tea party folks took out Cris’s Greer in Florida. He was the head of the Rs here. Thrasher is the replacement, a solid Marco Rubio Conservative republican.
So what the elected Rs don’t do anything. Do you think they helped in 1994 or just stood in the way. The gun rights people won the 1994 election, as Clinton once said costing the Democrats the House.
True. More specifically, the Dems have a more coherent agenda--hard left--when they are in power. The GOP doesn't have that, and when in power descends into petty bickering or RINO legislating.
The Tea Party movement is key, take back the GOP then work on taking back the country. I’m already planning on attending the tea party next August.
All useless, with universal voter registration on the horizon and ACORN in their back pocket what the polls show will be irrelevant. They will stuff the ballots everywhere and win the elections. They are not worried.

I meant the RATS of course...
Just playing Devil’s advocate. Perhaps that was a bad thing that Cherry dropped out. The Repub’s were set too run against Him and Granholm’s record of taxation and 15% unemployment.
I don’t know, I think its Hoekstra’s race to lose now.
Brer Rabbit, he lay low.
If you are cutting and pasting from the actual source, it works better if you get all the words in each sentence.
If you are just re-typing everything, and think that leaving words out makes it look more original, it doesn’t.
