(3,891 posts)I said the House and Senate. Look at the details of the poll. http://www.scribd.com/embeds/185695292/content?start_page=1
Republicans in Congress have a 21% approval rating. Good, they're pretty low. Not as low as they were, but still low. But Democrats have an approval rating of 26%, which is much lower than it was six weeks ago, and falling. Republicans are up three percent, and we're down four.
A vast majority of those Democrats are running for office again. Several vulnerable Senators are up for re-election. Several House members are vulnerable too.
If we want to take the House, and we want to keep the Senate, we need to get ahead of this, and we need to turn it around before the Republicans are more trusted than we are. Because we can't just sit around and hope that the Republicans fuck up again. They might, but I don't think our best chance at electoral victory is counting on the other guy to shoot himself in the foot.
