Who controls the House?

Or more appropriately, who knows who controls the House?

Chris Bowers at MyDD has an interesting post with historical data on voter knowledge of who controls the House of Representatives.

Not only do very few people know who controls the House, but they are mostly wrong. People conflate control of the Presidency and Senate with control of the House.

Since people are usually angry with the way Congress is going, this presents a unique opportunity for minority parties to pick up a few seats. Just convince people that your party's not in charge!

P.S.: Looks like MyDD got a redesign today. Looks nice. Apparently the DD now stands for "Direct Democracy" instead of "Due Diligence".
