Issues Favor Dems in 2006 Elections

Issues Favor Dems in 2006 Elections

The latest generic congressional ballot poll. Looks good for Dems, but I'm always skeptical, and here's why:

Sixty percent of Americans approve of the work their own representative is doing (compared with 49 percent in October 1994).


The old "they're all crooks, but MY local guy isn't like the rest" fallacy. We need to tie the unpopularity of Bush, Cheney and DeLay to cuddly ole Jim Leach and down home Tom Latham. (Steve King's district is a lost cause, but a primary against Iowa's own Tom Tancredo would be nice...)
