Hmm..interesting. It would be funny and most appropriate, if after all their boasting, the Republicans ended up with only minimal gains at best..
Quote:
Americans want Democrats to control Congress after this fall's elections, a shift from April, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll released Saturday. But the margin is thin and there's a flashing yellow light for incumbents of both parties: Only about a third want their own lawmakers re-elected.The tenuous 45 percent to 40 percent preference for a Democratic Congress reverses the finding a month ago on the same question: 44 percent for Republicans and 41 percent for Democrats. The new readout came as the economy continued showing signs of improvement and the tumultuous battle over the health care law that President Barack Obama finally signed in March faded into the background.
Besides, democrats historically have ALWAYS held a lead in the generic ballot. In fact, in 2006 and beyond, it was a double digit lead and it is now essentially tied. Even in 1994, the year the democrats lost control of both houses, they had a 5 point lead.

Being "restless" and obviously suffering a poor night's sleep from days of fitful tossing and turning, it really does not matter what they said in the poll, because they were prob too sleepy to be thinking properly.

ANyone who puts anything into these types of polls with buy into what ever floats their boat at the time.
NIta
Don't like the results, huh?
Well, they might not mean anything, but then again.. it could be an early indication that all those big gains the Republicans are counting on, may not come to fruition.
Oh, considering this poll has a high of 13 for the democrats when asked the question in 2008.
Did you notice the question about wanting to see your own member re-elected in Nov. 53-36% someone else.
