Here is more polling data that was compiled on the Washington Post’s blog by Chris Cillizza. This is really interesting because it deals with the 2006 generic ballot:
Organization SurveyDates GOP Dem Diff. CNN/USA Today/Gallup 3/10-12 39 55 D+16 Fox/Opinion Dynamics 2/28-3/13 34 48 D+14 CNN/USA Today/Gallup 2/28-3/13 39 53 D+14 Democracy Corps (D) 2/23-37 40 48 D+8 Diageo/Hotline 2/16-19 31 46 D+15
No matter which party you associate things with, one thing is for certain – things are looking good for the Democrats. Now will they be able to maintain, increase, or loose this margin of comfort? We got 8 months to go before the elections so anything can happen.
I need to make a correction also. On my previous post about the new PEW poll, I had said the numbers for those that described the President as “Incompetent” and “Idiotic” were a percentage. Those are actually the number of people who used those terms. (Thanks to Daryl in the comments for pointing that out).
