PEW Research Center: Bush a Drag on Republican Midterm Prospects

Nice to see, perhaps we can keep the momentum going this time. Bush a Drag on Republican Midterm Prospects Hillary Clinton Seen as Leader of Democratic Party Nine months before the midterm elections, the Democrats hold a sizable lead in the congressional horse race and an advantage on most major issues. Democrats lead by 50%-41% among registered voters in the test ballot, which is little changed from last September (52%-40%). While retaining a huge advantage on traditional party strengths like the environment and health care, Democrats also are seen as better able to deal with the economy (by 46%-36%) and reform the federal government (42%-29%). Terrorism, and to a lesser extent crime, remain the GOP's only strong issues among 12 tested in the survey. http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?ReportID=270
