The Hill: Democrats beat Republicans on almost all policy issues in the latest Newsweek poll, but the public is virtually undecided on whether or not they should keep their majorities in Congress: Democrats more than Republicans to handle pretty much every problem currently facing the country:
Afghanistan (by 6 points), health care (by 12), immigration (by 2, though that figure is within the margin of error), Social Security (by 14), unemployment (by 12), financial reform (by 14), energy (by 19), and education (by 19). Voters even prefer Democrats to Republicans on federal spending (by 4 points), taxes (by 5), and the economy (by 10)—the GOP's core concerns.
The only area where Republicans outpoll Democrats is the issue of terrorism, where they lead by a 6-point margin.
Still, voters are split on which party should control Congress after November—44 percent went for Republicans, 46 percent for Democrats.
