Catch a Wave!
CNN says their polling shows that …
Asked whether “most members of Congress” deserve re-election, just 22% of Americans say they do while 68% think they don’t. Among registered voters, only 20% want most members re-elected while 70% would rather the majority of members not return to Congress.What’s even more striking is how low those “yes, deserves re-election” numbers are among Republicans and self-identified conservatives who, presumably, should be pleased with the Republican majorities in Congress.
Now, of course, those numbers skew when asked about their own personal congressman. People tend to hate congress but like their congressman. However, these numbers are the lowest ever recorded, going all the way back to 1991.
There is other good news for sane people.
Inside Elections, a non-partisan political handicapping site, lists 48 Republican held-seats in jeopardy as compared to just 14 Democratic seats. In addition, there are 23 Republicans who hold seats that Hillary Clinton carried over Donald Trump in 2016.
