New Poll: 60% of Americans: “All Members of Congress Should be Fired”
If you haven’t seen the new NBC/WSJ poll yet, you really need to. It unequivocally shows that the GOP shutdown and their threats to default on our already-accumulated debt are disastrous plans for the Republican Party. Here are some toplines:
53% blame GOP for shutdown, 31% blame Obama;
Republican Party has their worst approval rating in poll’s 25-year history: 24%;
Democrats now lead in generic House match-up, 47-39;
Obamacare support up seven points from its last poll; etc.
It’s full of stuff like that.
But the thing that’s most prevalent to Pennsylvania GOP representatives is the fact that 60% of Americans think every member of congress should be fired. Congressional approval ratings aren’t new, and they’re all low — but even though Americans generally have a very negative view of congress for all of its disfunction, they usually have a fairly high view of their own representative. Not in this poll. In this case, the 60% includes their own member of congress — which is far higher than normal.

We are approaching a point of no return… Is this THE BEGINNING OF A MAJOR TIPPING POINT? Hopefully the people will come out and speak as they did on the Syria war issue and change the way we think about American Politics. Hope So.
Hi Elaine,
I can see you are putting thought into what is going on these days=something all of us are doing!
Integrated thought is what will lead us into the action of our lives, to show how we will resolve our
own issues in these areas….Thank You for your thoughts. I did read the material you gave=food
for my own thoughts. I’m not sure of the effects of Congress’ actions!
Love you,
Elaine B.
