Democrats Taking Offensive Posture
Roll Call, September 13, 2005

With Republican poll numbers falling and the nation focusing increasingly on domestic policy, House Democrats are feeling new political confidence and taking on a rare offensive posture against the GOP.

Through mid-August, Democrats were feeling emboldened as public confidence dipped in the U.S. handling of the Iraqi conflict, Social Security reform and Congressional ethics. Then Hurricane Katrina brought mounting questions about the Bush administration's response to the disaster.

The latest polling by Newsweek Magazine shows President Bush's job approval rating at 38 percent, and reports that just 28 percent are satisfied with the way things are going. It also showed hopeful numbers for Congressional Democrats, with 50 percent of Americans preferring Democratic candidates versus 38 percent for Republicans.

2. We always do well in the polls a year before the elections

and then they always manage to win a year later, but hopefully people are starting to wake up and the incompetence of this administration.

3. The thing is how do we keep this momentum going? (eom)

4. If the government keeps fucking up like it has since the beginning

of the year, especially, then maybe we won't have to work too hard. :)
