Mark Nickolas at davidsirota.com flags a Zogby poll released today that is surely giving GOP leaders a mess of worry. What makes the poll especially interesting is the size of the survey sample, 10,387, which translates into a +/- 1 percent margin of error. As Nickolas lays it out:

– War: 62% blamed Republicans vs. 14% Democrats

– Global Warming: 56% blamed Republicans vs. 10% Democrats

– Prejudice: 52% blamed Republicans vs. 22% for Democrats

– Poverty: 49% held Republicans accountable; 29% Democrats

– Corruption: 47% blamed Republicans vs. 31% Democrats

The only problem the public blamed Dems more for was crime, by a margin of 42 to 23 percent. All in all, "Not exactly the branding the GOP was hoping for as they head into the 2008 presidential and congressional elections," as Nickolas puts it.
