[Vision2020] New Polls show that GOP may lose House

[Donovan Arnold]

It doesn't matter who paid for a poll, only what methods were used in the collection of the data. It is not an election year, so we cannot predict what will occur in a future election that far out. One year is a lifetime politically. .
 
If Congress sees fit to shut down the government, that is their right, but they should not be permitted to collect a pay check or campaign donations, or use any government property or building while it is shut down. 
 
Donovan J. Arnold

Here's the associated link:

http://front.moveon.org/24-moveon-polls-show-gop-could-lose-house-in-wake-of-shutdown/#.UlJshCQhNpc

The survey was paid for by moveon.org which is a liberal organization.  The memo at the above link states 'The surveys, commissioned and paid for by MoveOn.org Political Action, showRepublican incumbents behind among registered voters in head-to-head contests withgeneric Democratic challengers in 17 districts. In four other districts, the incumbentRepublican falls behind a generic Democratic candidate after respondents are told that theRepublican incumbent supported the government shutdown. In only three districts do Republican incumbents best generic Democratic challengers after voters are told theincumbent supported the government shutdown.'

'Democrats must pick up 17 seats to win control of the House. These poll results makeclear that if the election were held today, such a pickup would be well within reach.'

Barring any unforeseen disaster that can be conclusively pinned on the Republicans over a year from now, it's safe to say that the Democrats won't be picking up 17 House seats.  However, if passed mid-term results are any predictor of future performance, the Democrats would be at risk of losing well more than 17 House seats.

I'd not be wishing time away for the 2014 elections.  We'll all be yet another year older and the election will likely be a dud that wasn't worth waiting for.
