Don't Get Cocky, GOP

It's not that voters suddenly think you're so cool, it's that they can't stand Democrats (from Gallup):
The Republicans' lead in the congressional generic ballot over the past month may be due as much to voters' rejecting the Democrats as embracing the Republicans. Among voters backing Republican candidates, 44% say their preference is "more a vote against the Democratic candidate," while 48% say it is "more a vote for the Republican candidate."
Those who have been referring to 2010 as an "anti-incumbent" year have just been trying to deny that it's really an "anti-Democrat" year. Looks like the truth is finally getting out.

A previous post on the subject is here.
