Shutdown Backfires: New Poll Shows Democrats Opening Big Midterm Lead 43-34by Sarah Jones at Politicus USA

A new Quinnipiac poll shows voters picking a generic Democrat over a generic Republican 43% to 34%, which they point out is the widest Democratic margin measured so far.
Asked If the election for the U.S. House of Representatives were being held today, would you vote for the Republican candidate, or for the Democratic candidate in your district?
The last time Republicans were almost this low was in April, but they managed to damage the Democratic brand with the summer of fake scandals.
Speaker John Boehner tried to warn House Republicans to no avail, and he continues to try to impose reality upon the newbie Tea nihilists today, warning them that they could lose their majority in 2014 as a result of shutting down the government.
