Republicans Opposed To Extended Unemployment Benefits Could Pay The Price In 2014: Poll

[UCmeNdc]

An overwhelming majority of voters are opposed to cutting off extended jobless benefits for the unemployed, a poll revealed on Monday.

The left-leaning Public Policy Polling surveyed voters in four key congressional districts, as well as House Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) district, to gauge support for extending unemployment benefits. The poll, funded by the liberal advocacy group Americans United for Change, showed that voters across party lines were overwhelmingly in favor of extending the benefits, with 63 to 68 percent of voters in each district expressing support for preserving jobless benefits.

Voters in the four districts surveyed said they were less likely to vote for the Republican incumbent in 2014 -- by at least a 9-point margin -- were he to vote to cut off extended unemployment benefits.

1. Republicans have one of the best circular firing squads going on in the existence of politics ...

Please do not let them know ...

2. Unfortunately, they are also the gang that couldn't shoot straight.

So all those rounds tend to hit random folks.
