New Poll Shows Democratic Incumbents in Big TroubleToday brings a new poll from Democracy Corps titled "Revolt against DC and the Republican Congress." And it's true: their polling shows that even in Republican districts, the GOP's brand has taken a beating.
But once you get past the generic questions and ask about approval/disapproval of actual members of Congress, the picture turns sharply. I've combined two charts to show what happens when you ask people in battleground districts about their own representatives:
In Democratic districts, net incumbent approval has plummeted by 11 points, from +8 approval to +3 disapproval. In Republican districts, incumbent approval has gone down only 4 points. You see the same results when they ask a question about warmth of feeling toward incumbents: It's down 7 points in Republican districts and 9 points in Democratic districts.
This isn't good news for Democrats. It's true that attitudes toward the Republican Party have taken a bigger hit than attitudes toward the Democratic Party, but attitudes toward actual incumbents are exactly the opposite. And in elections, that's what matterswww.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2013/10/new-poll-shows-democratic-incumbents-big-troubleConsider the source.

Not to worry. The GOP will find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

If they do that only means the voters are brainwashed and don't care I suppose that's why they carry the label of "low information voters" or, as Dr. Carson calls them, the "uneducated public." |

Hillary is not a joke.... Hillary is incredibly damaged goods. She stands no chance unless the Republicans find someone worse. They could sure do that, they have in the past. |

But the media loves her. Keep hearing Leno poking fun at Christie. His joke writers must think he is a threat.

It's too far from the elections. The stupid voters will forget all about this by the time they go to vote.

It will be a no holds barred against the political whore this time around. That IS unless we get another Romney that won't fight the slut dirty on her own level. As much as I DON'T want him Christie can get down to her level. |
