Poll: 65% Say We're Better Off if Congress Voted Out

From Rasmussen:

Most voters continue to believe it would be better for the country if the majority of Congress is thrown out this November, but they also remain unconvinced that a Republican takeover will make a noticeable difference.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 19% of voters think it would be better for the country if most incumbents in Congress were reelected this November. Sixty-five percent (65%) disagree and say it would be better if most were defeated. Sixteen percent (16%) aren’t sure.

There is a political tsunami out there for the asking – and we’ll have to see if the GOP can craft a message which resonates. If the GOP can do this, then the anti-incumbent fervor – the utter contempt Americans increasingly hold for Congress – will result in a blowout win for the Republicans.

If, on the other hand, Republicans hope to just cruise to victory on anti-government animus, then they’ll just have some modest wins. What the GOP does between now and November will make the difference between a 35 seat GOP House win and a 70 seat win. We’ll have to see if Steele and the boys (and all our very great girls recently shot to stardom) can do it.
