Whit Ayres, a Republican Pollster, in the NYT last week, mentioned in this blog:
[ed note] Can you spot the falsehood in the second question posed, and implied in the first?
Moreover, there is little the Democrats can do to change their standing in the eyes of the most important voters, those who don’t identify with either party. Last month, my firm, Ayres, McHenry & Associates, asked 1,000 likely voters to choose between two statements on a survey for the Republican National Committee:
• Having a president and Congress controlled by the Democrats allows the country to keep moving forward. This election is a choice between continued progress and going back to the failed policies of the Bush administration.
• Having a president and Congress controlled by the Democrats has not worked well for the country. From the economy to the deficit and the debt, the Democrats have not gotten the job done.
[ed note] I would say that the Democrats do not control Congress because of the filibuster threat in the Senate and because many in Congress, Democrats included, fear Talk Radio and thus are afraid to act.
