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.
