Mid-Term Election and Polls
The polls show Nov. 7 should go to the Democrats. But, is switching parties in control of Congress what voters really want? Or, is switching parties the only choice they feel is available to them?
Newsweek writes of its new poll:
For the first time since 2001, the NEWSWEEK poll shows that more Americans trust the Democrats than the GOP on moral values and the war on terror. Fully 53 percent of Americans want the Democrats to win control of Congress next month, including 10 percent of Republicans, compared to just 35 percent who want the GOP to retain power.
A Washington Post article says:
An Associated Press-Ipsos poll conducted after the [Foley] revelations found 63 percent of voters "dissatisfied" or "angry" with House Republican leaders, and 73 percent disapproving of the job Congress is doing.
