Democrats Positioned for Big Gains in 2008
The latest from James Carville, Stan Greenberg and Al Quinlin observes that "if Americans have ever been angrier with the state of the country, we have not witnessed
it... The scale of today’s discontent is evident in the 70% who
now say the country is off on the wrong track and in George Bush’s job approval and personal
ratings, now at their lowest levels ever."
"The Democrats enjoy a stable 13-point lead in which party voters say they will support for president (53% to 40%) and a stable 10-point lead in the named-ballot for Congress (51% to 41%) -- both essentially unchanged all of this year... The freshmen Democrats have consolidated their positions (ahead 55% to 37%), while Republicans in battleground seats are trailing."
Caveat: "Democrats have yet not found their voice as agents of change, except perhaps on Iraq, and risk falling short of their greatest aspirations."
