Gallup Congressional Poll
Last week after I posted my diary: http://www.dailykos.com/... there was a lot of interesting comments - one of which was that If I had only refrained from attacking the doomsdayers, I would have been on the rec list.
Well - here is part two of that series:
It must be finally (snark) time to panic - because following last weeks Gallup poll showing the democrats moving to a 49-43 lead, this weeks poll shows the Democrats are *gasp* still maintaining their advantage albeit with a slight narrowing to 48-44.
As mentioned on the gallup website
Democrats have a 48% to 44% advantage for the week of July 19-25 in Gallup tracking of registered voters' preferences for the 2010 congressional elections. This marks the second straight week in which Democrats have held an edge of at least four percentage points
Also
Although Republicans have moved to a four-point or higher advantage on three separate occasions, this is the first time either party has held an advantage of that size for two consecutive weeks
So again I ask - what will our resident naysayers say about this - I did read last week from a bunch of comments that this was just one poll - it wasnt a trend yet .. but now its happened for two straight weeks - there must be something out there that is generating this result.
Republicans still maintain a 46-28 enthusiasm gap but that has narrowed a little from the 51-28 of last week and the 47-23 from end June. While most of us think that the GOP will have more enthusiasm - that by itself doesnt win elections - think back to Nov 2004. We hold our noses and vote and we should be fine.
