In just six weeks, Republicans have completely erased a 9-point deficit in a generic congressional ballot question and are now running even with Democrats.
Thirty-nine percent of registered voters say they would vote for a Democrat in their district — and the same percentage say they would vote for a Republican — if elections for the U.S. House of Representatives were held today, according to numbers from a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday.
Last month, Democrats had held a nine-point advantage on the same question, 43 percent to 34 percent.
Independent voters favored Democrats in October, 32 percent to 30 percent, but now favor Republicans by a 37 percent to 26 percent margin.
That's not to say voters are wildly impressed with either party; 20 percent approve of the way congressional Republicans are handling their jobs, compared with 73 percent who disapprove. Interestingly, 30 percent approve of how Democrats in Congress are handling their jobs, compared to 62 percent who disapprove.

Nobody likes to be represented by a weasel who's been exposed as a weasel.
We can only hope this absolute disaster of a law continues to collapse under its own weight...that and the Republicans can keep from fumbling the football in the red zone with a 1st down from the 11 yard line :blink:

Well if the GOP does indeed blow it then I will join Dashvinny on the Brooklyn Bridge. This should be idiot proof.

Wouldn't that be Dims at -3? I can't see the Pubs gaining anything, they have been completely neutered for the last decade.
But if FOX numbers are correct, it's a sad commentary on the IQ of the voting populace, that they are only just now, starting to pay attention.
