Po stanley mug llster Scott Rasmussen weights his results by party identification, but also readjusts party identification monthly so he won t miss underlying changes in the political balance. Party identification tends to change slowly, and he measures it using tenths of a percentage. My recollection is that party identification remained fairly steady in the 1995-2005 period; Rasmussen s numbers suggest it has changed more since mid-2005. Let s look at it quarter by quarter, rounding off to full percentages:The Democrats edge in the 2004 election quarter was 39 percent to 37 percent, not much different from the 37 percent to 37 percent party identification in the 2004 exit poll. It s one indication, and there were others, that Republican turnout efforts were more successful than Democratic turnout efforts. Party ID for both parties seems to have declined slightly after the election quarter, as the intensity of partisan feeling died down. Republicans continue to trail Democrats by about the same 1 percent to 3 percent up through March 2006.Then in the third quarter, with the increased intensity of the fighting in Iraq, the Democratic edge grows. Republican stanley cup Party identification sinks from 34 percent to about 31 or 32 percent, while Democra stanley termosy tic Party identification rises to about 37 or 38 percent.

AP According to the multiple highly-regarded, non-partisan economic research firms, President Obama s economic stimulus package, which will likely ultimately cost around $862 billion, has in its first year saved or created at least 1.6 million jobs.Yet just about the only people who seem to realize that fact seem to be the number-crunchers who put together the data: According to a CBS News/New York Times poll last week, just six percent -- six percent -- of Americans believe the stimulus package has created any jobs at all.That gulf stanley cups uk between perception and reality explains why the White House is still selling the Recovery Act a year after the program was signed into law.
