Some Good News From The Economist

An article in the latest issue of the conservative magazine The Economist paints a picture of widespread popular rejection of Republican ideology. Some key statistical points from the article include:

40% of Republicans think that Democrats will win the next presidential election, compared with only 12% of Democrats who think the reverse

Second quarter money to the Democratic presidential
contenders nearly doubled that given to the Republican contenders

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee are vastly outraising the National Republican Senatorial Committee and National Republican Congressional Committee.

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.

As far as I can see, it's all good news!
