Control of Congress could change in '06, poll shows

CNN) -- Most Americans believe the GOP-controlled Congress has been a failure and say they plan to vote for Democrats in November, according to a poll released Wednesday.

Fifty-three percent of registered voters polled by Opinion Research Corp. for CNN said they were supporting Democrats, while 40 percent said they were leaning Republican. The remaining 7 percent either planned to support another party or had no opinion.

As for changing their minds when they get to the ballot box, only 43 percent of those planning to vote for Democrats said that was a possibility as opposed to 54 percent of those saying they plan to support Republicans.

Fifty-four percent said that since 1995, the GOP-led Congress has been a failure. Forty percent called it a success. In a similar 1998 poll, 58 percent of respondents called Congress successful.

In CT we proved we could come from nothing to take down a Bush Love Child.

And this fall we are going to have a huge advantage in public support. Dead Repugs left and right.

... I've found I can get behind. Glad he's finally, belatedly, come around.

'Bush Love Child'....

That's so disgusting. I wonder if 'The Kiss' had anything to do with it....

Diebold, ES&S & Sequoia machines surveyed indicate that they plan to vote Republican.

We may make it, after all.

it is still going to be tough.

Its a shame that gerrymandering isn't more of an issue. I think it is great that politicians don't have to worry much about getting re-elected, but when poll numbers like these only mean that 80% of one district now vote for the democrats and the GOP district now goes 51% GOP and 49% DEM it still doesn't do us much good.
