That's very true J.J. Another thing to remember is that people often vote the party opposite of the president into the house and senate for balance. That's been the trend since 1980. I still think people are trending to the Republicans right now because they are unhappy with Obama and not because they're interested in the Republicans' ideas. Usually Republicans are trusted more on foreign issues and Democrats on domestic issues. The economy depends on how the economy is doing and which party is in control of the white house.
Oddly, not so in the early 2000's. Until 2006, the GOP gained seats. In 2008, the D's gained seats.
I'm looking at the current anger at the government and I can see that being part of it.
Very odd indeed. I wonder what in the world could have happenned in the early 2000s to make people rally around the president's party
