One more poll

The polls are certainly looking good these days, but I'm scared to get too hopeful. This, from Raw Story:

NPR commissioned the poll from Greenberg Quinlan Rosner and Public Opinion Strategies.

With just three weeks until election day, the survey found Democrats running with a commanding lead in districts currently held by Republicans, and just 44% of voters planning to support the GOP.

In races for 38 seats currently held by Republicans, Democrats held a 4 point edge in named ballots. On a generic ballot, Democrats' lead increased to 11 points. Independents say they plan to vote for Democrats by a 20 point margin.

Voter turnout could also negatively impact Republicans for the first time in years, with 59% of voters planning to vote Democratic reporting that they were enthusiastic about voting, but just 43% of likely Republican voters indicating the same.

Dissatisfaction with Bush Administration leadership seems to be one key to the poll's findings. Even though 80% of those polled live in Republican districts, those who indicated that they "strongly disapprove" of the president led those who "strongly approve" by a two-to-one margin.
