re: #348 Vicious Babushka

Yeah. Congress rating down to 5 points. Obama still has the advantage. And he’s not running for office again. The GOP is. They face elections next year, and if they proceed to torch the economy because of their shutdown, they have bigger worries than the President’s ratings. They may face a backlash that loses them control over the House (with the caveats about gerrymandering notwithstanding)
