From Times Wire Reports

Americans are leaning sharply toward wanting Democrats to take control of Congress, an AP-Ipsos poll found. The survey said Democrats were favored 49% to 36% over Republicans.

The poll was taken this week as Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff pleaded guilty to tax evasion, fraud and corruption charges and agreed to aid a federal investigation of members of Congress and other government officials.

President Bush’s job approval remains low -- 40%, according to the poll of 1,001 adults. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3 percentage points.
