Dems Not Happy with Their Congressional Leadership

Zogby has a new poll out that suggests that Democrats nationwide are not too happy with their congressional leadership:

After nearly a dozen years as the minority party in Congress, Democratic Party leaders have apparently lost their groove.

A new Zogby poll of 1,039 likely voters reveals 58 percent of Democratic voters believe their leaders should "accept a lower position in Congress and work together with Republicans to craft the best legislation possible.” Democratic voters, according to the poll, have apparently lost their enthusiasm for political battles.

Only 6 percent - the hardest of the hardcore Democrats - say their Party’s priority should be the defeat of Republican-sponsored bills.

Surprisingly, 23 percent of self-declared Democrats in the poll claimed Republicans did a better job running Congress than Democrats.

To be fair, the Republicans didn't do much better, but one thing this points out is how small the hardcore part of the Dem party really is. The good news is there may be more reasonable Dems out there than you see on the news or read about in the blogs.
