Since the government shutdown, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting some media member claiming Republicans are in a lot of trouble heading into next year's midterm elections.
Breaking with the trend rather surprisingly Wednesday was the perilously liberal Mother Jones with a piece titled "New Poll Shows Democratic Incumbents in Big Trouble."
The poll was actually from James Carville and Stan Greenberg's Democracy Corps and was titled "The Revolt Against Washington and the Republican Congress."
Despite Carville and Greenberg's conclusions, author Kevin Drum dug deeper into the specifics to find some contrary nuggets:
In Democratic districts, net incumbent approval has plummeted by 11 points, from +8 approval to +3 disapproval. In Republican districts, incumbent approval has gone down only 4 points. You see the same results when they ask a question about warmth of feeling toward incumbents: It's down 7 points in Republican districts and 9 points in Democratic districts.
This isn't good news for Democrats. It's true that attitudes toward the Republican Party have taken a bigger hit than attitudes toward the Democratic Party, but attitudes toward actual incumbents are exactly the opposite. And in elections, that's what matters.

A shock to whom?
Thank You Senator Cruz and Lee.
RUN A PUBLIC REALTIONS CAMPAIGN TO CRIPPLE RATS FOR DECADES. Boot in the neck time.
Hopefully a bunch of RINOs are in trouble as well.
Primary them.
It’s no help having them stay in office.
Glue DeathCare on every RAT in the country! The rage out here is palpable.
Oh well, so much for that.............
I hope this isn’t because the LIVs think that Democrats are not left wing ENOUGH.
Start a RINO list with the top two being Boner and Linda Graham.
You have the right idea but the GOP don’t know marketing they just know how to play inside ball. I work with marketers all the time and they know how to build brands, how to run ad campaigns to reach the customers most likely to buy but alas the GOP hires some insider instead of really finding retail talent.
The problem is, people talk about “vote them all out”. But, when it comes down to it, it never happens. It’s the old: “He’s a rascal, but he’s our rascal”.
It won't be the right hand that does the Stupid... it will be the left hand (aka, the wrong hand). The leftist hand appears to be Stuck on Stupid.
As much disgust as I feel for ‘rats, there’s plenty left over for their GOP-e CINO soulmates. Burn them all.
LOL. I thought that last was the key phrase.
re: “Obamacare is going to kill Democrats in 2014 provided the GOP doesn’t do anything stupid.”
Hold on, now. You’re asking an awful lot of the RNC.
Good huntin’ for RINO/GOPe targets too.
I hope Democrat incumbents like Mitch McConnell and Linda Graham are in trouble.
