Among other findings, the poll indicates that voters no longer prefer Republicans to Democrats on handling taxes, cutting government spending, dealing with immigration and directing foreign policy.

Broadly, the telephone survey of 1,003 adults, which was conducted from Nov. 4 to Nov. 7, finds that Americans want Democrats to take control of Congress in next year's election, by a margin of 48% to 37%. The 11-point gap is the widest enjoyed by either party on that question since the poll began asking it in 1994.

For the first time since the Republican congressional landslide that year, a majority of respondents say it's time to replace their member of Congress. The poll has a margin for error of 3.1 percentage points.

"There's a kind of pall in terms of the American mood," says Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducts the Journal/NBC poll with Democratic counterpart Peter Hart. "It's a very unhappy electorate that's going to be very unstable....for a Republican majority."

6. Not a big poll watcher myself but

This sentence: "The 11-point gap is the widest enjoyed by either party on that question since the poll began asking it in 1994" seemed like a big clue that something is really different this time.

The first tax cut should have told the American people that ** was out to line his own pockets since the cut was for his level of taxpayers...on edit - tax evaders that is
