Things Go from Bad to Worse for the GOP

National view of Republican economy

A Research 2000 poll confirmed the earlier Rasmussen Texas poll showing a neck and neck US Senate race between John Cornyn and Col. Rick Noriega.

The earlier poll, HERE, completed May 1, 2008, showed the sitting Republican Senator, Cornyn, receiving 47% and the little-known Democratic candidate closing fast at 43%.

The more recent poll, taken from May 5 through May 7, 2008, showed a similar result, with Cornyn getting 48% and Noriega getting 44%.

If that's the status of the race, and it seems like it is as shown by these two polls, in May, then it's only going to get worse for the GOP candidate. And, as I've said before, if Noriega's that close statewide, then he must be well ahead in Harris County!

Look for the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to put some money into this race, and for Sen. Obama to campaign in very-competitive Texas!

Dems are going to take back Harris County in 2008. It's getting clearer by the day!

UPDATE:

A new ABC/Washington Post poll had this interesting tidbit about Democratic/Republican matchups in general:

Overall, Democrats hold a 21-percentage-point advantage over Republicans as the party better equipped to handle the nation's problems.

That can't hurt Democrats chances in Harris County in November, either.
