I'm still confused

dtb — 3/20/2009 6:30:38 PM (archived)

Thanks.

I'm still a bit surprised, though. Pew, NBC, Research 2000, and a couple of others all show the same things as recently as this week:

-- Strong Congressional Dem advantage on favorability
-- Growing Dem advantage on favorability
-- Significantly higher favorability numbers for Pelosi/Reid than Boehner/McConnell

Again, favorability doesn't always equal votes but it is an unsual pattern.

IT's worth noting that in 2008, Ras had a pretty strong "house effect" towards Republicans over Dems (about +5% GOP vs all pollsters pooled), though to be fair Pew runs a few points more Dem than the average.
