Democratic Party Maintains Solid Image Advantage Over GOP

Public Prefers Democratic Party to Republican for handling terrorism, military security

by Lydia Saad

GALLUP NEWS SERVICE

PRINCETON, NJ -- Public attitudes toward the two major political parties have not changed much in recent months. That's good news for the Democratic Party, which moved into a superior image position when compared to the Republican Party more than a year ago. Americans not only continue to view the Democratic Party more favorably than the Republican Party in general terms, but they also choose the Democratic party as the preferred party for maintaining the nation's economic prosperity. And, in a departure from recent history, Americans see the Democrats as the political party better able to protect the country from terrorism.

According to Gallup's annual Governance survey, conducted Sept. 14-16, 2007, the Democratic Party enjoys a 15-point lead over the Republicans in overall favorability, 53% vs. 38%.

That said, agreed that it would be beneficial for the US to reduce consumption of fossil fuels; however the primary reason would be to encourage development of alternative energy in order to break US dependence on MidEast oil.

That's a good reason......probably it should be number one on the list.......but what's wrong with cleaning up the air as well?
