the numbers could very easily shift by the next month
Numbers in red represent a shift in the GOP’s favor; numbers in blue, the Democrats. As is immediately obvious, the Republican Party is now trusted more on six out of ten (tied in one more), including the most critical one of the economy.
Also note that the GOP has had a net shift in its favor in eight of the ten categories.
How significant all of that is I will leave to the statisticians and other modern-day diviners; but I think that it can be safely said that the Democratic Party isn’t having a good second quarter.
PS: There’s sixteen months until the 2010 elections. These numbers will shift back and forth several times between now and then. All of this is merely a reminder to avoid despair.
