Congress remains extremely unpopular with the American public. They don't think Congress is doing a good job, and they're not real happy with either political party. But as these charts show, the Republicans are taking the brunt of the blame.
The public approves of Democrats over Republicans by a 10 point margin, and Democrats have a 7 point lead right now in the generic ballot. If the Democrats can get their voters to the polls this November, I still think they can flip the House -- and maybe even the Senate.
These charts reflect results of a new Economist / YouGov Poll -- done between March 23rd and 25th of a random national sample of 1,500 adults (including 1,330 registered voters). The margin of error for adults is 3.4 points, and for registered voters is 2.8 points.
So let’s see if I have this straight. The group most disatissfied with our GOP-led Congress, the 65+ folks, are also the ones more likely to vote for a Republican. No wonder this country is so screwed up!
ReplyDeleteThey're also the most likely group to be hurt by GOP policies (since their next big effort will be to go after Social Security and Medicare). Stupidity abound among the "Boomers".
