want more good news ?

Bachmann's days may be numbered. This poll is significant because her opponant is new to politics, has no name recognition (quick, who is running against Bachmann?) yet is only behind by 5 points. He is just beginning to get his name and face out there, I think he's got a good shot. Jim Graves http://jimgraves.com/
Here's the poll:

Michele Bachmann Vulnerable to Defeat in 2012

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 26, 2012. Washington, D.C.

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s unsuccessful bid for president had a clear and negative impact on her standing among voters in the new Minnesota 6th CD. She receives low marks on both her job performance and personal favorability. While she is well-defined and almost universally known, her support is below 50 percent in a two-way contest for U.S. Congress. Her weaker standing leaves her vulnerable to defeat in this November’s election against businessman Jim Graves.

A poll of 505 likely voters in Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District shows that Bachmann comes to the 2012 elections with poor standing with voters in the district. Reactions to her are strongly negative, with 51 percent of voters giving her a cool, negative rating and just 35 percent giving her a warm, positive rating.

The race for U.S. Congress reflects her weakness, with Bachmann under 50 percent and leading by only 5 points (48 - 43 percent, with 9 percent undecided).

I don't think of the House as much more than a demonstration of that.
