Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

>>>288 of us who support Bush and only 36 who support the Democratic Congress.<<<


Latest desperation act by Bush republicans who can't take any more of their hero being battered. So they compare Bush's poll numbers to that of the democratic congress. Every day now and everywhere there's a Bush friendly blogger. Another moronic argument from the right fringe that means exactly nothing in the real world.


"Such was the case with the most recent Diageo/Hotline poll in which the sample was asked whether they would support a generic Democrat or a generic Republican for president if the election were held today. Forty-seven percent chose the Democratic candidate while 29 percent went with the Republican. For those English majors out there (don't worry, The Fix is in your ranks), that's an 18-point differential."

That poll is from April 7th. Saw a more recent one where the democrat's lead has grown to 52% over 18%.
