Hey, Gate Crashers!
In these early soundings for 2006, Republicans face the potential reemergence of a gender gap that Bush narrowed in his 2004 reelection. While men split evenly when asked which party they intend to support in November, women prefer Democrats by 57% to 31%, the survey found. Democrats hold a commanding advantage not only among single women, a traditional Democratic constituency, but married women, a swing group that broke toward Bush and the GOP in 2004.
If only polling like this really translated into votes.
It seems like people have all sorts of bitches and gripes about the Republicans..but start talking to them about their own Congressman--and they sing a different tune.
Here's hoping, though.

Sadly, Carla's correct. That's why this do little Congress is only spending 97 days in session this year. That way they'll have plenty of time for fund raising as well as meeting constituents and getting said voters to like themselves rather than their party or their positions. Just like with Presidential elections, people tend to vote with their gut and impressions rather than the issues.
