What's the likelihood that Democrats could control Washington in 2012? [View all]

(I looked for this here, didn't see it posted anywhere)

The article, at http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/signal/likelihood-democrats-could-control-washington-2012-164705443.html, says the likelihood is ok for Obama, (not with much margin) but that the Senate might be lost, and the House stays in control of the repubs...

Interesting charting, though. It looks like the more the R's talk, especially Newt lately, the better the D's do. Makes me think if the D's would come out with a true progressive investment plan to get the country into jobs and in production again that it would be a winning strategy, really draw a contrast with a strategy that could change things for the better. Or, the mostly wealthy folks could keep telling the rest of us how we need to sacrifice as we continue to circle the drain.

Oh well, it's a new year (nearly), and many things could happen.

I'm going to look deeper into the sources listed under the graphic in the article, but perhaps someone here knows more about them.

I hope everyone does a little better in the new year than they did in the last one.
