Mother Jones Shocker: 'New Poll Shows Democratic Incumbents in Big Trouble'

By Noel Sheppard | November 1, 2013 | 13:12

Since the government shutdown, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting some media member claiming Republicans are in a lot of trouble heading into next year's midterm elections.

Breaking with the trend rather surprisingly Wednesday was the perilously liberal Mother Jones with a piece titled "New Poll Shows Democratic Incumbents in Big Trouble."

The poll was actually from James Carville and Stan Greenberg's Democracy Corps and was titled "The Revolt Against Washington and the Republican Congress."

Despite Carville and Greenberg's conclusions, author Kevin Drum dug deeper into the specifics to find some contrary nuggets:

Quote
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.

Not good for the Oministration . . . :fuelfire:

I suspect we will see numerous Dems distancing themselves from the administration, trying to keep their seats

Fearsome will be the rage of the White House to the traitors.

A lot of Dems that are in trouble are pushing for the individual mandate to be delayed.  They refused to do it when the conservatives wanted to it as part of the shutdown negotiations.  Now the GOP has to hold their feet to the fire and refuse to let them delay it.

Only if the brainless/spineless/sackless Republicans actually call them out on their records.

I'll happily give the Dhmmi'Rats as much distance from the O-ministration as they can stand. All they have to do is turn their backs on the Beltway and never so much as look in that direction ever again. :fuelfire:
