Karl Rove had better have a pretty freaking huge October Surprise in store or the Republican Party is going to implode on November 7th.
From Newsweek:
The combination of continuing chaos in Iraq and the Foley scandal have clearly taken a toll. More people than ever before disapprove of the Iraq War and Bush's handling of it, and a majority believe Speaker Hastert knew about and covered up the revelations about Foley. There really is no good news for the Republicans in this poll besides the fact the election is not this Tuesday so, theoretically, there's some time for this to turn around.
There's only one month left people! Get out there and canvass, chalk, stuff envelopes, make phone calls, write letters to the editor, get your friends registered to vote, do whatever you can because this country can't take 2 more years of an unaccountable Bush Administration.
From Newsweek:
Fully 53 percent of Americans want the Democrats to win control of Congress next month, including 10 percent of Republicans, compared to just 35 percent who want the GOP to retain power. If the election were held today, 51 percent of likely voters would vote for the Democrat in their district versus 39 percent who would vote for the Republican.

Meanwhile, the president’s approval rating has fallen to a new all-time low for the Newsweek poll: 33 percent, down from an already anemic 36 percent in August. Only 25 percent of Americans are satisfied with the direction of the country, while 67 percent say they are not.

Democrats now outdistance Republicans on every single issue that could decide voters’ choices come Nov. 7. In addition to winning—for the first time in the NEWSWEEK poll—on the question of which party is more trusted to fight the war on terror (44 to 37 percent) and moral values (42 percent to 36 percent), the Democrats now inspire more trust than the GOP on handling Iraq (47 to 34); the economy (53 to 31); health care (57 to 24); federal spending and the deficit (53 to 29); gas and oil prices (56 to 23); and immigration (43 to 34).
