Does anyone know how many of these the Battleground "duo" put out in Congressional election years? There hasn't been one since January. Will this be the last until the election? or should we expect a couple more?

IMHO, no poll taken before the President's speech on the middle east has any validity at all.

Interesting. What effect do you think the speech had on public opinion?

I beat that guy by eight whole minutes and he gets the pings? What, isn't my formatting pretty enough for you? Do you know how few "breaking news" posts I've ever come up with?

You're breakin my heart.

Kidding of course... over there is fine with me. I'll join in when the text comes out.

Note that big 20% "Other" in the question about the most important issue.

What do you suppose most of that "Other" is?

One downside for this fall's election is that respondents indicate they will vote for Democrats in their district this fall (44% for Democrats, 40% for Republicans). Last January it was 39%D, 41%R. See chart question Q16 for this result.

No question I liked the January numbers better, but do you remember what they were before the '94 elections? Don't feel too bad. The generic numbers are next to irrelevant since there are only a hadfull of districts that are even marginally competitive. I've even heard that McAuwful has given up on re-taking the House this cycle (and 2004 won't be much prettier with Bush on the ticket and Texas finally redrawing it's lines the Right way).

All in all, a very encouraging poll. And to read the Ed Goas Republican Analysis brings it all into focus. Bottom line: The U.S. President is usually (19 times out of 20) a drag on his party in the mid-term elections. This is definitely not the case this year. George Bush has a 20% advantage over the Democrats in is handling of those issues that voters care most about. Bush has an incredible 40% credibility advantage over Congressional Democrats in sharing the personal values of the voters (65% to 25%).

In other words, Bush will help the Party a great deal in November and break the trend towards punishing the Party in White House during the mid-term cycle.
