Poll: GOP Winning Voter Support
Fox News ^ | 9/14/06 | Fox News

Posted on 09/14/2006 5:02:07 PM PDT by Rawlings

NEW YORK — The gap has narrowed to a slim 3-percentage point advantage for Democrats over Republicans in the latest FOX News likely voter poll, though many voters say they are still deciding which candidate to support in the upcoming Congressional elections. Iraq is mentioned at least twice as often as any other topic as the most important issue in voting this fall. While there are sharp divisions on Iraq, a slim majority says they support the war. In polling conducted in the days after the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and after a nationally televised presidential address to commemorate the anniversary, President Bush’s job rating is up slightly: 40 percent of voters say they approve, up from 38 percent two weeks ago and 36 percent at the beginning of August. The partisan division continues to be extreme, with 82 percent of Republicans saying they approve of the president’s job performance compared to just 12 percent of Democrats. A 53 percent majority of voters says President Bush is honest and trustworthy, the same number as when the question was last asked in May 2004.

Greek it starts with Mennedez in NJ. He is toast and was ripped by the Wall Street Journal Editorials today as taking 300k in bribes. even if the NJ Dems do a switch, Kean will win due to poll leads. This is now a GOP pickup.

Thank you for telling this troll what I was about to say. I am sick of these immature whiners who want a party that agrees with their view of conservatism 100% of the time. The fact of the matter is that the deficit (as a % of GNP) is half what is was during the tax and spent 1960s. In fact, I would say that it is only an issure to those who want to "balance the budget", which is Demo code for raising taxes.

This is really good news.
This forces the Dems to spend money in NJ when they planned to do battle in other States.

On the House side we have two Reps here in NH, both Republicans. Both have favorables above 55%. Polling by a respected local University researcher.
Yet, these seats have been considered potential pick ups for the Dems.
My wife asked a Dim State party official how much the national party was going to spend here and the answer was "nothing at the moment."
Its almost like they're trying to create hype on these seats pretending they may switch in hopes their fantasies will come true.

I think Repubs have a good chance in picking 2(if not 3) senate seats, the Menendez corruption would help Kean in winning the NJ senate seat. Also Michigan looks promising for Repubs considering their lousy Governor and their economy.

Greek they will have do the "Switcherro" in NJ. The Wall Street Journal basically called Menendez a crook today, so the NJ DEMS will have to dump Bobby. Kean will win easily now.

The Menedez corruption story also helps negate the Bob Ney crap today, which is great for the GOP.

They did the same thing in 2002 when Tom Lantos daughter, Katrina Sweet, ran against Bass. She was a media darling and was going to knock off Charlie with big $$$ from Stephen Spielberg. Bass beat her by 10%.

"Bass beat her by 10%."

The west side of NH is more left leaning (Swett leaning).

Bass will win, but it will be a tighter race.

Dims are now suggesting they'll put money in the race. Think they're bluffing.

Bush & Co. are not perfect. But what's the alternative, cut & run, higher taxes, liberal judges, Schumer, Pelosi, Rangel, Conyers et al. And don't think it's an accident that we've had no terrorist attacks in the US since 9/11. Pubbies got to go the polls, progress is slow, but we keep moving ahead.

The best way to negate Bob Ney crap is for the GOP to back term limits !
12 (2 terms) in the Senate
12 (6 terms ) in the House !
The Ney's & Cunnighams of the world stay to long and ended being corrupted.
Of course the Torricelli's & Menendez's of the world arrive in DC crooked !
