Dem Advantage Over GOP Has Expanded Since Election: Gallup First Posted: 08- 3-09 12:20 PM \| Updated: 08- 3-09 01:44 PM After seven months of controlling the White House and Congress, Democrats have slightly expanded their electoral advantage over the GOP, a new Gallup poll finds. Electoralmapohnine The survey, conducted between January and June of 2009, finds that 30 states prefer the Democratic party by ten points or more, while only 4 states prefer the GOP by as much. Eight states currently lean Democratic while one leans Republican, "lean" denoting a gap of 5 to 10 points. Ten states are competitive, meaning that the parties are within 5 points of each other in terms of voter preference. Thirteen states have a Democratic preference of over 20 points, while only two states prefer Republicans by as much. The bluest states, other than the District of Columbia, are Massachusetts, Hawaii, Maryland and Vermont, while the reddest states are Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Alaska. While a number of states changed to a slightly different color, the overall discrepancies look similar to 2008, the net change being that two states have turned from "competitive" to "leaning Democrat." Gp Mike Lux, a respected progressive political strategist and former adviser to Bill Clinton, attributed the retained Democratic advantages partly to "changing demographics and overall trends" as well as the harm dealt by "Bush and all the crazies" in the GOP. But he was cautious about the future, warning his fellow Democrats not to become complacent. "If the economy is still weak and we blow it on passing health care, we could have a bad year," Lux wrote in an email to the Huffington Post.

>> WTF is he supposed to take blame for? Blame for massive increases in the deficit -- not only in the current year, but forever. You're a hypocrite. Never a word when Bush was spending like a banshee. Never a frigging word. You are the worst kind of partisan.......won't even admit to your own bad behavior. Blame for (attempting, at least) to impose regulations on business that will "That will" what? Blame for weakening our foreign policy and our safety. Only wingers believe that......the rest of us......the majority......think he is doing a fine job. Blame for forking over massive power to the unions, who are destroying this country (and the automakers are absolute proof of it). Nice try but it was Bush and Rs who were destroying the country........everyone knows that. You know how I know.......Rs are the minority party. I think there are plenty more attacks on our country to come from the current administration. Just sill asstalk.....not worthy of a response. And more recently, blame for creating a racial divide that basically was not there before. Another level of your hypocrisy.......you've all but admitted you're a racist and you're an educated winger. Imagine what non educated wingers are thinking. I wouldn't hire this bastard to run an ice cream stand. Wow! What a huge surprise....NOT!
