More Data from the CBS Poll
Mining more information from today's CBS News poll, we find some very interesting information about people's feelings about the two Congressional parties.
Congressional Republicans themselves are viewed a bit more negatively than Democrats. Forty-two percent of the public has a favorable opinion of Republicans in Congress, compared to 49 percent for Democrats in Congress. As would be expected, views of each party in Congress are highly subject to partisan leanings. Americans view their own party's delegation favorably, and the opposing party's negatively.If the Democrats have any chance of winning back Congress in 2006, they must nationalize the campaign. Being viewed more favorably than the Republicans by seven points this early in the game is a good start, but much more must be done. If the GOP ends up in the 30s by election day, they'll be finished. The Democrats have their work cut out for them, indeed.
