WASHINGTON — People 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 one-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.

Dream on. When the nation is unhappy with its course, they usually throw out the party in power. That party, at this time, would be the democrats. In 2006 and 2008, that party was the republican party.
Personally I think we need to get rid of every incumbent, as the culture of corruption in Washington is perpetuated with career politicians. The Obama administration is just a symptom of a deeper problem with our representatives.
In New Hampshire the Republican Party believes they will have an easy election in November. I am encouraging them to maintain this view and to nominate the most extreme and incompetent right wing candidates they can find. This seems to be working.

"extreme and incompetent"
That reminds me of someone. His initals are BO. However, when he was a lad in Indonesia they were BS which is a little more applicable.....

Obama's approval rating is 52%. As I said before, don't count your chickens...
Oh I am SO going to bump this thread after the midterm elections.
