You folks who continue to denigrate polls that show the GOP is in deep kimchi are whistling past the graveyard. As a conservative who voted the straight Republican ticket in every single election from 1960 through 1990, again in 1994, then from 1998 through 1992, I'm about as Republican as they get. I even voted for Bush 43 twice as governor and once for president. But I'm so disgusted with what passes for Republicans nowadays that I hope they get buried in November. It has become increasingly obvious that George Wallace (former Democratic governor of Alabama) was right on the money when he said in '68 that "there's not a dime's worth of difference between the parties". I'm sick to my stomach of voting for "the lesser of two evils". As far as I'm concerned, ALL politicians can kiss my patootie.
You folks who don't know jack about polling are amusing in an insanely hysterical sort of way, trollnewbieloser. Stuff your vote.

2004 General Election Results for the GOP: House +3 / Senate +4
It would also take us about 20 years to make up the ground lost in the SCOTUS.
Get a grip!
