| After yesterday's vote from our Michigan Congressional Delegation on the Economic Recovery Bill, it's no surprise that Michigan is getting bluer each election.
And according, to Gallup, the rest of America is too:
All told, 29 states and the District of Columbia had Democratic party affiliation advantages of 10 points or greater last year. This includes all of the states in the Northeast, and all but Indiana in the Great Lakes region. There are even several Southern states in this grouping, including Arkansas, North Carolina, and Kentucky.
An additional six states had Democratic advantages ranging between 5 and 9 points.
In contrast, only five states had solid or leaning Republican orientations in 2008, with Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, and Alaska in the former group, and Nebraska in the latter.
For Michigan, we have a whopping 17 point edge over the Repugs 51% to 34%.
h/t Red no more.
Still, remember this doesn't mean we sit and get complacent. The Repugs are going to be fighting hard. We have the momentum. Keep it going and we'll make Washington DC look like Utah! |
