"-40% of Republicans think that Democrats will win the next presidential
election, compared with only 12% of Democrats who think the reverse
-Q2 money to the Democratic presidential contenders nearly doubled that
given to the Republican contenders
-As has been frequently mentioned by Markos, the DSCC and D-Trip are vastly
outraising the NRSC and NRCC
-61% of Democrats are happy with our choices of candidates, while only 36%
of Republicans can say the same
-Young voters and Hispanic voters are trending overwhelmingly Democratic
-Registered Democrats and Democratic-leaners are now 50% of the population,
while registered Republicans and Republican-leaners only comprise 35%--a strong
swing from an equal 43%-43% tie in 2002"
These statistics that come from The Economist, which is a conservative leaning magazine, are not good news for the republican party. It looks like the party might lose the White House in 2008. If there is any one thing I would point to for why they are falling in the polls, it would be lack of connection. They have rested in their assumed power to deeply and have not been communicating their ideas to new voters.
