Elijah Friedeman, the Millennial Perspective
People are ticked off at government. When that happens, whichever party is in power at the time should start to sweat a little, or in this case, a lot. I mean, c'mon Dems. People dislike politics and government enough without having you attempt to force feed them a massive expansion of government. Americans hate that. And guess what? The polls are showing it.
Rasmussen has three polls out today that spell trouble for the Democratic party.
The first, while not anything new, is crushing if you're a Democrat and exhilarating if you're a Republican. When voters are asked whether they will vote for the Republican congressional candidate in their district or the Democratic candidate, the plurality say they'll vote for the Republican. For the second straight week Republicans lead Democrats by seven points on the generic ballot, 44%-37%. And even worse for the Democrats, unaffiliated voters choose the Republican by a very wide margin, 43%-24%.
The second, is a poll that measures how people feel about the federal government. The answer: Very angry.
