Hard Left Mother Jones: Doom and Gloom Predicted...For Democrats
Hard Left Mother Jones: Doom and Gloom Predicted...For Democrats

Relish this moment because it may never happen again. Liberal website Mother Jones took a break from blaming the GOP to publish an article with this title: “New Poll Shows Democratic Incumbents in Big Trouble.”
The poll was actually from a piece by James Carville and Stan Greenberg’s Democracy Corps titled ”The Revolt Against Washington and the Republican Congress.” Writer Kevin Drum looked past the title to discover that Democrat approval isn’t faring too well, either:In Democratic districts, net incumbent approval has plummeted by 11 points, from +8 approval to +3 disapproval. In Republican districts, incumbent approval has gone down only 4 points. You see the same results when they ask a question about warmth of feeling toward incumbents: It’s down 7 points in Republican districts and 9 points in Democratic districts.This is one of a few recent left-wing admissions that their party is in peril. Enjoy another one here:
This isn’t good news for Democrats. It’s true that attitudes toward the Republican Party have taken a bigger hit than attitudes toward the Democratic Party, but attitudes toward actual incumbents are exactly the opposite. And in elections, that’s what matters.

New Poll Shows Democratic Incumbents in Big Trouble

Today brings a new poll from Democracy Corps titled "Revolt against DC and the Republican Congress." And it's true: their polling shows that even in Republican districts, the GOP's brand has taken a beating.
But once you get past the generic questions and ask about approval/disapproval of actual members of Congress, the picture turns sharply. I've combined two charts to show what happens when you ask people in battleground districts about their own representatives:
In Democratic districts, net incumbent approval has plummeted by 11 points, from +8 approval to +3 disapproval. In Republican districts, incumbent approval has gone down only 4 points. You see the same results when they ask a question about warmth of feeling toward incumbents: It's down 7 points in Republican districts and 9 points in Democratic districts.
This isn't good news for Democrats. It's true that attitudes toward the Republican Party have taken a bigger hit than attitudes toward the Democratic Party, but attitudes toward actual incumbents are exactly the opposite. And in elections, that's what matters.
POSTSCRIPT: There's also a very weird result (on slide 20) showing that voters in Republican districts are more eager for their representatives to work with President Obama than voters in Democratic districts. I have no idea what to make of this. In fact, it's so strange that it makes me wonder if there's something wrong with this poll.
