Americans Prefer a Democratic Congress by 14 Points

Share    
The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released this morning shows that Americans prefer that Democrats control Congress by a 14 point margin, a number that is unchanged since the last NBC-WSJ poll taken in December 2007.    

8.  What is your preference for the outcome of this year's congressional elections--a Congress controlled by Republicans or a Congress controlled by Democrats?

Republican-controlled Congress ... 35
Democrat-controlled Congress...... 49
Not sure .....................................16

The full poll can be viewed at: http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/WSJ-20080312-poll.pdf

I returned to the Democratic Party for the first time since 1972. I have never voted Republican. I was a chronic cynic until Obama came to the front. I am calling everyone I know in the Party begging for the Clinton campaign to be denounced and removed from the party of civil rights. She is turning whites against blacks in her campaign. I will not be a member of a party that indulges such cynical behavior. Her actions will destroy this party and most likely the nation. Please, please, please. May Vishnu have mercy on our souls.

Please, Please let up unite around the idea that the leader who emerges will want us to support the looser. It is absurd to think that the race card could be called up in this campaign. It rings of a poor me mentality that we are not of one mind yet. Do not let the lesser feelings of denigration of people white or black be allowed to be uttered. We have earned the right to exist as equals and join together at last to support he winning candidate.
Power to the winner and the looser. We will need each of there invested strengths to win this election. I am so happy ?to have a party that is strong and united. Stay together!

Dear Democrats and future Democrats,
Let the primary process work!  It has worked for us in the past.  We have to be careful not to panic, and it is ESPECIALLY important not to vilify either Hillary or Barack.  Remember, 50% of us support Barack, and almost 50% of us support Hillary.  Our party needs all of us to pull together.  Please stop the name calling (as in comment #1 above).  The Clinton campaign should not be “denounced” !! This is half of the party!  Hillary is not turning whites against blacks!  This is Republican propaganda.  Her actions are not cynical, and will not destroy the party or the country.  She and her supporters are fighting the fight as is always done in the primaries.  This is normal Democratic primary activity.  We have always been a “big tent” party with a lot of viewpoints, and it eventually will distill into one strong candidate we can all support.  The back and forth between the candidates makes the final candidate stronger.  Please don’t get angry and start stereotyping against one candidate or the other.  We are all in this together.  We can only win if we are united.  Please encourage all your independent and progressive friends to join the party and join with fellow US citizens who want to get this country on the right track.  We can only do this together!  Together for peace, justice and equal opportunity!

I wonder if the people of Miami-Dade prefer a Democratic Congress?  As a former resident of Hialeah, I feel pretty confident that given a choice, a majority of the area’s populace would vote for a Democratic candidate.  Please give our candidates a chance.  Please support Raul Martinez, Joe Garcia and Annette Taddeo as they try to knock off three nasty Republican incumbents.

a democratic congress will happen if all democrats feel the primary process was democratic. Howard Dean saying the FL and mI dlelegates will be seated is different then them counting.

If the delegates are not counted before the nominee is chosen then there will be many Hillary Clinton voters staying home or voting otherwise. especialli if I lived in FL and MI

Many, many letters have been sent to the DNC, if you feel yuo want to write the DNC come sign the letter at:
