How bad are things looking for the Republicans right now?

This bad:

If the Democrats take control of Congress in November, do you think the threat of terrorism against the United States would increase, decrease, or stay about the same?

Increase	Decrease	Same	DK/NA
22	18	57	2

If the Republicans keep control of Congress in November, do you think the threat of terrorism against the United States would increase, decrease, or stay about the same?

Increase	Decrease	Same	DK/NA
27	14	57	2

If the Rove and Mehlman machine can make the Republicans survive this election, it really does deserve its status as Washington's favorite caveat.
