Democratic Party Image Drops to Record Low
Gallup poll put Democratic Party at 18-year low - MarketWatch 's Election Blog - MarketWatch
Huh - people don't like having major legislation rammed down their throats. Who would have thunk it? The Dems still have a way to go before they're in the Historic Repub range, but they're well below their previous low and are now tied with a party that had hit rock bottom just a few months ago.
With all the broken promises and politics-as-usual, independents aren't seeing the type of change they had envisioned:
"Polls" are not elections, they are snapshots of opinion on a given day. Cries of "throw the bums out" are common in most election cycles, what's far less common is it actually happening. Generic "I dislike this or that party" polls don't equal "I dislike my Senator or Representative" in most cases. History teaches us that most incumbents will likely return to office.
