Monday Morning's Good Dem News.

Reading some blogs, listening to the radio, watching TV, especially cable, including msnbc, just gets me down. "Dems going to get smashed" is the constant refrain. There is a lot to be worried about, and there is a lot to be pissed at some Dems (e.g., Blue Dog Enabler Steny Hoyer) about. But despair is a tool used by Republicans to suppress the vote, to perpetuate an enthusiasm gap. Therefore, I'm going to start sharing good news for Dems on Monday when I can.

Here's some:

Conway Closes in on Paul in Latest Kentucky Poll

Minnesota Poll: Dayton still has edge on Emmer

1. Public Opinion Snapshot: How Conservative Are Americans Becoming About Government?

There’s no question that Americans are unsatisfied with the way things are going in the country today. According to conservatives, this has led the public to take a sharp right turn toward embracing conservative ideology about government. But several recent poll findings suggest this claim is vastly exaggerated.

Just 37 percent of respondents in a recent CBS/New York Times poll said they believe President Barack Obama has expanded the role of the government “too much” in trying to solve the country’s economic problems. The others said either “about right” (34 percent) or “not enough” (22 percent). This hardly sounds like a conservative tidal wave.

No doubt some polls seem to be moving our way especially on the Bush tax cut and what the President is doing
