"SNIP...........................


A series of polls released Sunday show just how damaging the shutdown has been for the GOP. The liberal-leaning Public Policy Polling compiled two dozen surveys, commissioned and paid for by MoveOn.org Political Action, from House districts around the country, taken from Oct. 2 through Oct. 4. Sample sizes were between 600 and 700 voters in each district.

For Democrats to win a House majority, 17 seats would need to switch to their party's favor. Results show that would be within reach, as Republican incumbents are behind in 17 of the districts analyzed: CA-31, CO-06, FL-02, FL-10, FL-13, IA-03, IA-04, IL-13, KY-06, MI-01, MI-07, MI-11, NY-19, OH-14, PA-07, PA-08, WI-07. In four districts, the incumbent Republican fell behind after respondents were told their representative supported the government shutdown: CA-10, NY-11, NY-23, VA-02. Three districts saw GOP incumbents maintain their hold over their Democratic challengers, even after hearing their elected officials' views on the shutdown, including CA-21, NV-03 and OH-06.

Back in 2012, Democrats picked up eight seats in the House, closing the gap of Republican control to 234-201. For a full breakdown of the PPP surveys, click here.

2. It will be okay. I know it will. The GOP have angered the chamber of commerce. They

got burned on the tea party. Look to see internal combustion in the GOP in the years to come.

6. Be still my heart!!!!

They need to get the snot beaten out of them. They need a shellacking so bad that even THEY can't spin it their way. That might work, but then again, you never know with these mean-spirited, willfully ignorant, selfish, anarchic, bullying schmucks.

7. Nate Cohn at the New Republic has context on this poll

8. The House Republicans know it too, that's why they're trying to shift the blame to one Senator

that being Cruz for shutting down the government.

One would expect a United States Congressman to know how policy, procedure and politics works, if they don't, as apparently the House Republicans are implicitly stating, they shouldn't be there.

They're incompetent.

Thanks for the thread, applegrove.
