It honestly doesn't surprise me. George Bush has ruined the credibility of the Republican party. Possibly for the next few elections.

The poll question is irrelevant. An election has a face... right now we have many monsters salivating in the wings. They are bent on dividing this nation. At a time when we should be united, all the democratic votes have done is launch a hate Bush campaign with no answers. Democrat options with no experience. People do want change... and that change they got was MS. P, and MR. R? Sorry, they are why the poll numbers are so low in the Senate and the House.... People are sick of the fighting, finger pointing.... GEEZ... work together, fight the war before it comes here, and get our borders secure. There is so much talk about elections when there are more serious issues on the table. We should vote all of them out... I vote OTHER... I vote Jimmy Stewart.

Hmm. Ok. Sure - Bush screwed any chance for Republicans barring some act of terror between now and then. There is still the chance of Bloomberg coming in as an independent. No saying how that would play out until the nominees are decided. So I would be sooo sure.

I have always had a problem with the polling data....especially in cases like this where they poll 750 people and portend a nationwide consensus.
I think the country is ready for a change, but I'm not sure that either party is going to give them one.

What you do not mention is
Put Republicans against Democrats in the race and Republicans win.
This is lying by omission

And this is significant? 750 people polled means nothing. If they took that same poll in another part of the country you would see different results.

If the Democrats don't win in 2008 it will prove how inept they are and how quick they can screw their own chances. Iraq is the ticket to the White house for them.

No but it sounds like something the left would come up with. Wow!

Did they mention that this poll was taken in San Francisco?
Or perhaps New Orleans?

It looks a lot different when you match a specific Democrat against a specific Republican. On our ballots, we choose candidates, not parties.
