Blam!
More encouraging still, there is no indication whatsoever that the GOP intends to change strategy. One year from now, they will likely be even more despised by the electorate.

From PPP:
A new round of post-shutdown polling shows that Democrats not only have an opportunity to take back the House of Representatives next year, but that they could win a sizable majority if voter anger over the shutdown carries into 2014.
...
Republicans will likely find this third round of surveys to be the most alarming yet, given that the new results show substantial Republican vulnerability in many districts that were not even supposed to be close. Incumbent Republicans trail generic Democrats in 15 of the 25 districts we most recently surveyed. This means generic Democrats lead in 37 of 61 districts polled since the beginning of the government shutdown. Democrats only need to net 17 seats in order to retake the House.
And the bad news for Republicans doesnt stop there, because in the minority of the 61 districts where Republicans lead in the initial head-to-head question, 11 more Republicans fall behind once voters are informed that the Republican supported the government shutdown and 1 race becomes tied. This means that our results indicate Democrats have pickup opportunities in an astounding 49 of the 61 districts surveyed.

Possible reactions: PPP? Too early! Unlikely!
Don't care. Let's change the narrative and kick the teabaggers while they're down.

All I can really say is that white, male Democrats are nearly extinct in the Deep South.

I really doubt that the ideologues in the Teapublican Party will be able to contain themselves.

Cutting SS will flip this, as could the TPP, more war, or any of the many issues Americans are far

The GOP is making the mistake of appealing to a loud-mouthed fringe movement in their party.
