Registered voters prefer Republicans for the House, 48% to 44%.
In this same poll, Republicans trailed by six points in July and by two points last month.
If the trend continues, the Democrats will be in deeper trouble in 2010 than was at first feared.
Is the most recent swing because of:
1. The heavy-handed way Pelosi has pushed the healthcare bill in the House?
2. Locking out Republicans while drafting the bill eliminating even the pretense of a bi-partisan effort.
3. The huge amount of pork in the bill.
4. Not allowing the final bill to be read more than a few hours before final vote.
5. The crafty way of forcing a Saturday vote hoping that Congressmen would vote ‘yes’ in order to go home for the rest of the weekend.
6. All of the above.
Number 6 would probably be the most accurate.
