In the last two months, I have read a number of articles speculating if the Republican party was doomed. The main stream media seems to love this subject, and it writes about it all the time. Apparently, they are seeking for it to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The truth, however, is that the Republicans are doing better now than they have in a long time. As of last Monday, republicans were favored by the voters on four of the ten issues on which Rasmussen does repeat polling. The Dems were ahead on five, and one was tied. Last November, the Democrats were ahead in polling on all ten issues. Indeed, the Republicans have moved up substantially on all ten issues.
Clearly, it is a lot easier to like the Democrats when they are out of power. Once the Dems have the ability to do what they want, they lose support quickly. No surprise there.
The only question is whether or not this erosion of support for the Dems will be sufficient to lead to a major Republican resurgence in the 2010 mid term elections.
