truck, Rich,
Hardly news, really--polls for months have shown approval for Congress in the toilet, with approval of Republicans even below that. After all, they're mad Congress hasn't done enough, and Republicans have done less than that--if you don't count promising to stop anything from getting done at all in the interests of wining back the White House.
Nonetheless, doesn't change the point. If you're sitting around with a preference, vote. If you care enough to have an opinion, care enough to vote.
Or have it your way, guys. A done deal for Republicans, so Republicans should just relax and stay home?
And you don't need to get your fur up over what you perceive as spin. In 2012, all those freshmen Senators that rode into office on a wave of anger at Republicans in 2006 are up for re-election. That's a lot of seats to defend.
And even though all this House election is going to accomplish is two years of gridlock (assuming Republicans win a majority), Republicans are favored in governors races, which gives them the edge in a redistricting year and tilts the field toward them for future House elections (in fact, I live in one of those bizarrely shaped districts that snakes through slivers of 11 counties and around all major cities in order to abandon it to Republicans--though last election an independent won the seat running on the Democrat slot).
