Poll: Independent Voters Back Anti-Obamacare Candidates By 25 Points A devastating new poll finds that Independent voters overwhelmingly back candidates who oppose Obamacare by a 25% margin (54% to 29%). The Fox News poll, released on Monday, also found that the general electorate backs anti-Obamacare candidates by 14% (53% to 39%). Nearly one in five voters (19%) said a congressional candidate's position on Obamacare will be the "single most important factor" driving their voting decision. A full 51% of those polled said 20 years from now Obamacare will be seen as "one of the worst" things President Barack Obama did as president, a sentiment with which even one in five Democrats agreed. Just 37% said Obamacare will be seen as "one of the best" things Obama accomplished. Democrats continue to scramble to distance themselves from the unpopular Obamacare program heading into the Nov. 4 midterm elections. Democrat Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) said last week that Democrats "will lose seats in the House" and "may lose the Senate... primarily because of health care." Can't wait until November.
Let's hope voters are prescient enough to not vote for "anti-Obamacare" candidates who also voted FOR Obamacare. Those who voted FOR Obamacare should NOT get a pass because they "changed their mind". (Besides, those who NOW claim to be against Obamacare could be LYING to get elected... just like the Tea Party guys who "changed their spots" as soon as they got to Washington.) If an incumbent voted FOR Obamacare he should be OUT! Period, regardless of his stance now.
I just "hope" they don't forget between now and Nov. Most voters have notoriously short memories and attention spans.
