Having gained so much support from independents and young voters in the 2006 and 2008 elections, Why are Congressional Democrats so rapidly losing support from these key groups now?
"Last Wednesday, I noted that Republican are now running even or slightly ahead in the generic vote for Congress in two respected national polls. On Friday, Charlie Cook noted the same results. He pointed out that the NPR survey shows independents favoring Republicans 38-24 percent and that Republican pollster Glen Bolger says this is the first time independents have favored Republicans since 2004."
"Most of the Democrats' loss of support has come among younger Americans," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "In January, two-thirds of those under the age of 35 said Democratic control of Congress was good for the country. Now that figure is down to 48 percent."
Yep, maybe they are getting a clue....their boy ain't so great, and a liar to boot. They've been royally had so to speak. A niche needs to be made for the independents and RINO's, a growing group for sure.
This thread's six hours old. Where are all the Democrat cheerleaders?
They're probably very pompous thinking it's inevitable they'll return. After all, where will they go? They can't go back to Republicans, and if they vote third party, it's a "wasted" vote.
I'm sure when new parties emerged in the US, the opposition to the defunct party was just as arrogant and smug.
Probably because they looked at what they would turn into (irrational, hypocritical, running on pure emotions, hate filled) and didnt want any part of it.

Same pretty much applies to politics in general, not just democrats.
Nah, the Democrats will be fine. Its the Republicans who need to worry. They lost a whole generation because of the neocons. You won't win the youth or independents back until you kick the neocons out of the party.
