AP-GfK Poll bolsters congressional Democrats

WASHINGTON – There's encouraging news for Democrats battling to retain control of Congress in this fall's elections, with the party holding a slender edge in public trust for shepherding the economy and small gains in those saying their finances are healthy, according to a new poll.

The reeling economy remains people's top concern, according to an Associated Press-GfK Poll conducted earlier this month, making public attitudes about it crucial for both parties' hopes in November. The good news for Democrats: By a margin of 47 percent to 42 percent, people trust them more than Republicans to guide the economy, and slightly more — 64 percent — say their household budgets are in good shape.

In addition, people want Democrats to win control of Congress by a 46 percent to 39 percent margin. That is the second straight month in which Democrats have held a delicate advantage on that question since April, when 44 percent preferred Republicans and 41 percent picked Democrats.

2. The GOP doesn't want to return to power yet

There are still too many messes they left behind to clean up, and Republicans don’t “do” clean-up. They’re in charge of making messes. We need to get in a whole lot better position before Republicans can fuck things up again. Nothing worth stealing right now. But their time will come, their time will come.

3. So a 7 point spread is a "delicate advantage"?
