Americans must really, really hate the Republican party if they're still willing to support the Democratic Congress (which has been mediocre, at best).
Perhaps, Americans are seeing that the faults and failings of the 110th Congress wrest essentially in the hands of obstructionist Senate Republicans, the attitude of which seems to be "F-You guys, we're not gonna let you guys get much done". Not to mention that Iraq has been a thorny issue for Democrats, many of whom have sought to tread cautiously. Too cautiously, some might say
Is it any wonder, relatively little has been accomplished? Maybe the answer lies in increased Democratic majorities
and voters are realising that.
Some polling has suggested that Democrats are firming up in those districts they won in 2006 and are pretty much on course to take the fight further into Republican territory, despite dreadful Congressional approvals. I wish them well
in doing so
