Haters Gonna Hate. but They Plan to Vote Republican.
Seventy-two percent of voters who disapprove of the job Obama, congressional Democrats and congressional Republicans are doing say they’d vote for the GOP candidate for U.S. House in their district if the election were held today, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday. Just 14 percent say they’d vote for the Democrat.
The new findings come as Republicans have erased the generic House ballot advantage Democrats built in the wake of the government shutdown showdown. In October, Democrats held a 48 percent to 40 percent lead among registered voters. Now, because of a big shift among independents, they’re only running about even with the GOP, at 47 percent to 45 percent.
