Democrats, after 11 years as the minority party in Congress, still can’t get it right with their own voters, a poll shows.

By objecting to virtually every initiative and proposal of the Bush administration and congressional Republican majority, Democrats are undermining their party’s chances of regaining the majority this fall, the John Zogby poll of 1,039 likely voters suggests.

While House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and other visible Democrats in Washington pick fights with Republicans, the poll shows that 58 percent of rank-and-file Democratic voters say their leaders should “accept their lower position in Congress and work together with Republicans to craft the best legislation possible.”

Only 6 percent of Democratic respondents say the No. 1 goal for their party’s lawmakers in Congress should be to bury Republican bills.

Now I am not a big poll person, I do not think you can really get a good measure of the country when surveying 1000 or so people. But, it would illustrate the notion that the Moonbat wing doesn’t represent what the majority of Democrats think and want, namely, cooperation, less hysteria, and a move forward, to get the business of the USA done. And, as usual, Democratic leadership blames it on the Republicans

 “The poll reconfirms what Americans have been saying for months: Under Republican leadership, America is headed in the wrong direction,” said DNC communications director Karen Finney. “The truth is, a lot of Democrats know that Republicans aren’t doing a good job running Congress, and a strong majority have faith in Democratic leadership and ideas.”

Reality based community my ass.
