GOP Rises

Keep fighting, House GOP, keep fighting:

Are Republicans winning the public relations battle over spending in the $800-billion-plus economic stimulus package? Democrats and Republicans are nearly even in this week’s edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone surveys found that the Democrats’ lead is down to just one percentage point. Forty percent (40%) of voters said they would vote for their district’s Democratic candidate while 39% said they would choose the Republican (see crosstabs).

This marks the lowest level of support for the Democrats in tracking history and is the closest the two parties have been on the generic ballot.

The thing about the “generic ballot” is that it always tends to over-state Democrat support. Generally, if the GOP is sitting three or four points back in the “generic ballot”, then GOPers are doing well…to be one point back means that if the election were held today, the GOP would utterly crush the Democrats.

Trouble is, the election isn’t until a year from November…

On the other hand, after more than a year of Obamunism, we might have the GOP up by ten in the generic ballot…

What this shows is that when we fight on conservative principle, we win – people want to vote for something, and right now the GOP is once again becoming the watchdog of the people in Washington, DC. The only thing which could harm us now (other than the impossible: ie, Obamunism working) is a failure on our part to keep fighting. Tooth and nail, toe to toe – lets have at them with gusto and give them not a moment’s rest. They are corrupt, they are dishonest, and they are destroying our nation – the harder we fight them, the better things will be.
