Dan Balz:
The Post-ABC News poll offers a revealing portrait of a restless
electorate at the start of the campaign year. By 51 percent to 35
percent, Americans said they preferred to go in the direction outlined
by congressional Democrats rather than the direction established by
the president. On the eve of last year's State of the Union address,
45 percent said they preferred to follow the path of the president,
compared with 39 percent who said they favored the Democrats' course.
By 54 percent to 38 percent, voters surveyed said they would vote for
the Democratic candidate over the Republican candidate for the House
in November. That is one of the largest margins favoring the Democrats
in two decades, although the gerrymandered House districts mean that
incumbents are safer today than they were in the past.
By 51 percent to 37 percent, Americans said they trust the Democrats
more than the Republicans with the main problems facing the country
over the next few years, the first time since spring 1992 that
Democrats have gained more than 50 percent support on that question.

Balz notes that much will ride on King Bush's SOTU address, though I
don't think it's as influential a tool as it may once have been. There
are too many alternatives on TV for anyone but the biggest Bush fans
and political junkies to tune in.
History suggests that Bush will get some sort of bounce regardless
thanks to the inevitably fawning media coverage. The real question
will be how long any such bounce will last, and whether congressional
GOoPers will get any benefits from said theoretical bounce.
Iraq won't do Bush any favors (especially given the coverage of
Woodruff's condition), the prescription drug debacle is already
raising ire with the elderly (people who actually vote), and we've got
a whole spate of investigataions and trials on tap which will further
highlight the Republican culture of corruption and Bush's belief that
he is an infallible monarch.

What a COAST-TO-COAST poll finds is irrelevant! That's because
congresscritters and electoral votes both come from states - and the
chance of any party that openly styles itself as the last-ditch
defender of abortion for underage girls without parental notification,
gun control, gay marriage or quasi-marriage, and racial reverse
discrimination winning in Red Nation is zero. 2004 proved it; a shitty
job market in Red Nation (and elsewhere) couldn't deliver even one Red
Nation state to Kerry.

Even pro-Bush Rasmussen can't get Bush over 49% approval. The rest of the

I try to take all polls with a grain of salt,if you word the questions
right you can get them to say just about anything.
It does seem though when left to his own devices the President fares
far worse than when Senator Kerry engages him.
This does not seem too support Senator Kerry's view of himself as the
Democratic front runner for the 2008 Presidential nomination.
The 80% Republican approval rating is heartening perhaps we are
starting to take seriously the 2006 election cycle,it will be pretty
stright forward we either get out the vote and win or we stay home and
lose, nothing lofty just politics 101 we need our base energized,our
party has met its financial challenge, the rest is up to us.

Kerry is dreaming. After his cave in the day after the election, he
isn't going to get the nomination again.

Nor is any other moron who promotes leftist ideals... One thing we
know for sure is that the further to the extreme left a candidate is
perceived to be, left likely he/she will be elected President. It
remains to be seen if that also applies to the extreme right. I think
it will.
IMHO:
(1) if we can get Guliani nominated in 2008, he'll beat anyone.
(2) Hillary is in the exact opposite position.. .. likely to win
the nomination, unlikely to win the election.
But, there are a lot of others out there.. Moderates of either party
stand the best chance. Hopefully, extremism is out.

What a shame they won't get to vote their preferences.
The paperless electronic vote-fraud systems have the fix in.
