Polling down Congress

CNN:

Congress' image could emerge as an election topic, with 55 percent of respondents saying corruption will be "the most important" or a "very important" issue to consider when voting in November, when all 435 House seats, and 33 Senate seats, will be decided.

Thirty-two percent of people surveyed said corruption was moderately important, and 12 percent called it not important.

More than half the country thinks that corruption will be the number one issue come November? With all that faces the country - terrorism, health care, the war in Iraq - corruption is going to be the thing that helps people decide who to vote for?

Democrats must be pleased to hear that, in light of the Abramhoff flip yesterday. Of course, they need to make sure they have a message for the direction of this country, too. But their prospects for control of the House or Senate just got a whole lot brighter
