Hold the Election Today! People Support Dems Over GOP by Wide Margin in New Poll
Last poll-related blog of the day, I swear. Amidst mountains of disgust with George Bush's handling of domestic issues, foreign policy issues, and all issues ever, there is an interesting number in this AP/Ipsos poll [pdf].
Including strong supporters, moderate supporters, and nominal supporters, you've got 54 percent of the country that favors the Democratic Party. The same number for the Republicans is only 36 percent. That's a difference of 18 percent, or exactly half the GOP's support.
Hillary, BHO, and Jedwards have to hope this national mood lasts. It'll be a cakewalk. Spotted on TPM.

Yeah. I noticed. I could see the parallel and I'm pretty P.O.'d at my former party, and would consider it yet-one-more-reason to disassociate myself from them if I hadn't already done so.

Let's wait for the appointed day.
Give the Dems controlling the congress a chance to piss people off. You know.., by acting like the Repubs have been doing.
Passing hundreds of pages of legislation in their first few hours, without giving anyone a chance to actually know the contents, let alone consider the impact of the bills.
