Voting With One's Pocketbook

"I also believe that Republicans will not lose control ANYWHERE. History has proven that people vote by their pocketbooks and MOST people are enjoying a bustling economy."

Mr. H at Peer Review.

Mr. H is right. The people did vote with their pocketbooks. An On Message Inc survey tells the tale.

• When asked which Party they believe would cut taxes for the middle-class 42% said the Democrats while only 29% chose the Republicans.

• When asked which Party will work toward reducing the deficit 47% chose the Democrats while only 22% chose the Republicans.

• Again, when asked who will keep government spending under control the Democrats held a 17 point edge (38% Democrats, 21% Republicans).

The pocketbooks said vote Democrat.
