Poll show Americans keeping an eye on Congress

By Susan Page, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON: — Americans are paying unusually close attention to the congressional elections in November, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds. They are more inclined to deliver significant gains to Democrats than in any year since Republicans won control of the House and Senate in 1994.
Those surveyed are more concerned about national issues than local ones — a situation that favors Democrats hoping to tap discontent over the Iraq war and gasoline prices — and prefer Democrats over Republicans on handling every major issue except terrorism.

Why do you call Alito a facist???

Gerrymandered districts have been around since the country was started... I don't like it, but that's how it is. With that said, there's nothing illegal about them.

Maybe they personally like their representative in Congress... With that said, one doesn't win people over to their side of a debate by calling them "stupid."
