Monday’s CNN/ORC poll has more bad news for republicans. Registered voters are 20% more likely to say that Republican members of Congress should not be re-elected compared to Democrats.

Registered Voters:
Democrats in Congress should be reelected: 40%
Democrats in Congress should not be reelected: 56%

Republicans in Congress should be reelected: 20%
Republicans in Congress should not be reelected: 76%

Democrats also have a +8% advantage on the generic ballot, which according to Sam Wang at PEC puts them in the takeover zone. I’m pessimistic as to whether they can hold that advantage, but if the Wall Street money really is running away from the conservatives it might. The GOP didn’t do itself any favors either in going for a short term budget and debt ceiling extension. Now they get to remind the voters again what pricks they are just as primary season starts, and the way things are going we may have another showdown again in the summer or fall, just before the elections are held.
