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....
So. It looks like thus far the effects of the shut-down have equaled out the effects of the Obamacare debacle. Going forward, mind you, the only thing driving the numbers will be the continued Obamacare debacle....
..... until we find a way to do something else stupid.
Worth noting, however, is that the poll is of registered rather than likely voters, which will lean slightly D, and that "hoping the opposition really screws up" is not a terribly good strategy.Gonna be funny to watch Democrats begin to swing against ole O-Care.

I think the fact that Obamacare has been such a failure... that it was not, and probably will not ever be, ready for prime time and that was precisely [ as well as in general the imprudence of the damn thing ] what those in the conservative tea parties wing of the Republican party were trying to emphasize, highlight, to warn and rail against... and that when it comes to a real down-the-line accounting, who was for, who was against and who was truly confrontationally against this super clunker, people will finally understand whose hearts were in the proper place.So.

Going forward, mind you, the only thing driving the numbers will be the continued Obamacare debacle....

Republicans have always been much better than Dems in the game of politics.

If that were true we wouldn't have a welfare state. Don't fool yourself.
Not shocking at all. As I suggested after posting the Nate Silver piece, reports of the Republican's death were greatly exaggerated. We're a year away from the election, freaking out majorly over polls during a controversy as they relate to something a year away is idiotic.
Obamascare and Benghazigedden are Fox News manufactured crisises, simply red meat thrown to the faithful.So.

Republicans have a die hard fan club of faithful followers, regardless how bad they are at any given time, kind of like the Dallas Cowboys. The Dems on the other hand rely on people like me who abandoned the GOP because we recognize that they went crazy. Thankfully, I am not in the minority...Cowboy fans are.
I'm sorry but the roll-out of Obamacare has been abysmal and even rank and file Dems are starting to cry foul over it. I wouldn't call a horrible roll-out "manufactured", I would call that reality.
Of course the roll-out was a joke. But, it's not the crisis you think it is. Most of us don't even care about Obamascare.

Obama is not running for reelection. And, I assure you, all of us who voted for him, whether we approve of his job or not, will definitely not be voting GOP...unless you nominate Christie, which you won't.Looks to me like you are in the minority

Think defending the indefensible makes you in the majority?

In the middle of the Obamatastrophe, the most corrupt politician known to man beat your guy for governor of VA. If you can't beat McAulife, you're in really bad shape. If you can't beat him while Obama is being outed as a liar, your party is on life support.4.5 million who had their insurance cancelled because of Obamacare disagree with you. Your loyalty to Obama is in the minority. Wonder what it is going to take to get people like you to hold Obama to the same standards you hold Republicans?

The GOP is its own worst enemy. My gawd, Terry McAulife won an election. Sheesh.
It's defintely not a joke, especially for those that will be relying on this.
Republicans like welfare when they're on the receiving end.
