The Republicans are in trouble. Check out this new WSJ/NBC poll:

....Broadly, the telephone survey ... finds that Americans want Democrats to take control of Congress in next year's election, by a margin of 48% to 37%. The 11-point gap is the widest enjoyed by either party on that question since the poll began asking it in 1994.

For the first time since the Republican congressional landslide that year, a majority of respondents say it's time to replace their member of Congress. The poll has a margin for error of 3.1 percentage points.

"There's a kind of pall in terms of the American mood," says Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducts the Journal/NBC poll with Democratic counterpart Peter Hart. "It's a very unhappy electorate that's going to be very unstable....for a Republican majority." ...

NBC news adds, "Approval for [Bush's] handling of the economy (34 percent), foreign policy (35 percent), terrorism (39 percent), and Iraq (32 percent) have all hit rock bottom.”
