Dick Morris says the Republicans will win big in November - Why? Because people are afraid of Clinton unchecked, unbalanced, and running amuck! -from AMERICA WANTS DIVIDED GOVERNMENT In the Fox News/Opinion Dynamics survey, voters expressed a preference for a Republican over a Democrat for Congress, all things being equal, by 38 percent to 37 percent - enough for a very modest GOP victory. But when pollsters reminded the voters that the Congress they are to select in 1998 will be in office for the final two years of the Clinton Presidency, support for a Republican Congress jumped to 42 percent to 37 percent - a far more significant mandate. Political analysts say that, as a result of gerrymandering and other factors, Democrats need to out-poll Republicans by 3 percentage points to acquire a majority in Congress. If the Democrats lose, or win by less than 3 points, the Republicans will retain congressional control. Thus, the Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll predicts an even more substantial electoral wipeout for Democrats running for Congress: the poll's plus-five GOP margin (as long as Clinton is in the White House) is, in fact, a plus-eight margin. The Fox News/Opinion Dynamics shows Clinton's job approval steady at 66 percent. Should Republicans be frustrated and Democrats encouraged? Not in our new politics. Clinton's continued success makes a GOP Congress far more likely. Where voters once backed party tickets and a president's coattails would pull in candidates of his party, voters now consciously and deliberately split their tickets. nypostonline.com Things will get even better as Clinton's criminality scares the electorate ever more. That's the ultimate check on the unbalanced.
