Because I have no faith

The latest Associated Press-Ipsos poll found Republicans and Democrats equally capable of protecting the country in the eyes of those surveyed. If the House elections were held today, Democrats have a 14-point edge among likely voters, 53% to 39%, in the generic congressional ballot. While still a large gap, this is somewhat narrower than last month.

Meanwhile, Pew Research finds voters "are expressing strong and consistent anti-Republican attitudes. The GOP lags well behind the Democratic Party on nearly all major issues, including the economy, Iraq, education, health care, the environment and the budget deficit."

In the generic congressional ballot, Pew finds Democrats leading 50% to 39%.

Now lets see how fast the democrats can piss away this lead. I'm still waiting for the "counter" message. You know, the one in which democrats tell me what they can offer me besides NOT being republican.
