Republicans' Anti-Working Class Agenda Not Resonating with Voters for Some Reason

[Galraedia]

Well, this doesn't make any sense. According to this new poll from Democracy Corps, despite congressional Republicans' pro-millionaire, tax-the-poor, withhold-jobs-until-a-Republican-is-president agenda, they're somehow losing support amongst average everyday Americans.

2. Big shocker, there.

But republicans are working quickly on a solution: denying people the right to vote. That way, they can cram their minority agenda up our backsides without having to worry about that pesky election problem.

When they said that the unemployed were lazy, ill losers, and brown skin people evil, OK, but call all the youngsters fools for not being on top, and you will pay.

:shrug: I certainly would not get too cocky about Republicans losing support....For some reason they are much more motivated than normal Americans when it comes to voting..

The biggest shift against the Republicans has come from independents, who are increasingly turned off by what they see and hear out of Washington. According to exit polls, Republicans won independents last November by a 19-point margin. Their advantage had narrowed to 17 points in August. Strikingly, Republicans are now winning independents by just 7 points. Seniors have also pulled back from these Republicans in big numbers. In last November’s exit polls, Republicans won seniors by a 21-point margin. This advantage has completely disappeared, with the vote among seniors now basically even (45-46.)



Independents = people too disengaged to understand what the two parties stand for and who just vote anti-incumbent each election. They voted dem in 2006 and 2008, then GOP in 2010. They learn nothing and I'm sure will go back to the GOP in 2013.

Seniors is kindof uplifting. Maybe they are figuring out that the GOP plans to dismantle SS and medicare and are taking the risk seriously.
