GOP Trending Down

The Washington Post/ABC News poll released Monday,found that 38% of the public approve of the job Bush is doing as President, while 60% disapprove. The statistics about Congreess are equally bleak for Republicans. When asked which party they trusted more to do a better job handling a series of current issues the response, with the Democratic percentage first was:


Health - 61% to 29%
Elderly Drug Benefits - 59% to 31%
Corruption in Washington - 52% to 27%
Immigration - 50% to 38%
Iraq - 49% to 42%
Economy - 49% to 43%
Terrorism - 46% to 45%

This is a great opportunity for the Democrats to regain power in 2006 and further on, as yearned for by a bumper sticker I saw yesterday – Is it 2008 Yet? But can they articulate a coherent alternative or at least illuminate the long succession of incompetence and lies?
