Democratic Advantage is Gone

Still think the GOP can't win in November? You better re-think that. Why are democrats tanking? One word- Iraq. Bush was right, the Surge was right, America sees it. The End.

The Rasmussen Reports is the leading polling group in the United States and their track record is second to none. Although they have been wrong before, they have been the closest by far of all others in every poll in regards to American Politics.

In a recent "Generic Congressional" poll, RR concluded the following:

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that, if the Congressional Election were held today, 44% of American voters say they would vote for the Democrat in their district and 40% would opt for the Republican (see crosstabs). That’s the first time the Republicans have reached the 40% level of support in more than a year. It’s also the second consecutive month that the Democrat’s advantage has been in single digits. A month ago, Democrats enjoyed a five-point lead. Two months ago, they had a ten-point edge over the GOP.

Back in April of 2007, the Democrats were at 45% and the Republicans were at 35%. On 2/14/08, the Democrats were at 44% and the Republicans were at 40%. The Democrats are either stagnating or losing ground. Either way, they are losing ground and the Republicans are gaining...steadily.

The Democrats may try to ignore the fact(s) that the American Troop Surge has paved the way for Iraqi Political Reconciliation but the fact remains, the Iraq War is still an issue to the American People. The longer they deny it, the deeper they will sink into their own self-induced quagmire of denial.
