Democrats Widen Lead Over Republicans in Battle for Congress

Voters increasingly see Democrats as the party best able to handle the top problems confronting the U.S., as Republicans struggle to hold their congressional majorities in midterm elections little more than four months away.

Registered voters favor Democrats over Republicans in contests in their congressional districts by 49 percent to 35 percent, a Bloomberg/Los Angeles Times poll finds. Fifty-four percent want to see Democrats control Congress, while 34 percent prefer that Republicans stay in power. In April, Democrats led Republicans 51 percent to 38 percent on the issue.

Democrats have opened up a 16-point lead on the question of which party is best equipped to tackle the nation's most urgent challenges. Democrats, who have long enjoyed a decided edge on issues such as health care and the economy, now find themselves preferred on the Iraq war, ethics and immigration -- issues where Republicans had been ahead, or where the public was more divided.

The turnaround suggests Republicans ``are headed for very difficult fall elections,'' said Stuart Rothenberg, editor of the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report. ``The House of Representatives is in play, and the Democrats have a real chance'' to sweep back to power.

How fast can they get Bush and Cheney IMPEACHED! Voters want this administration GONE IN 60 SECONDS! Bush is at 30% approval and Cheney is up to about 15% approval. That should tell us something.

that scientific odds can be ignored this time - we are nearly in JULY FOLKS!

JULLLLLLLLLYYY!! And the Democrats are up by double digits in who should lead Congress.

Sorry, but there has to be like a 100-1 or worse odds for the Republicans that they are going to lose control of Congress & 1000-1 that they will at least have a net negative loss. I wish I was a mathematician so I could figure out based on the leads, but things look VERY good for the Dems.

JUST KEEP PRESSING FOR OUR CANDIDATES AND SHOW & TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THEM & BUSH DISASTERS (I DO IT NEARLY 5 times a week with strangers!)
