PPP Poll: For GOP, ‘The Most Alarming Yet’

Another day, another poll that sets conservative teeth on edge. And for very good reason.

This one, from PPP:

Republicans will likely find this third round of surveys to be the most alarming yet, given that the new results show substantial Republican vulnerability in many districts that were not even supposed to be close.

Incumbent Republicans trail generic Democrats in 15 of the 25 districts we most recently surveyed. This means generic Democrats lead in 37 of 61 districts polled since the beginning of the government shutdown. Democrats only need to net 17 seats in order to retake the House.

And the bad news for Republicans doesn’t stop there, because in the minority of the 61 districts where Republicans lead in the initial head-to-head question, 11 more Republicans fall behind once voters are informed that the Republican supported the government shutdown and 1 race becomes tied.

This means that our results indicate Democrats have pickup opportunities in an astounding 49 of the 61 districts surveyed.

That’s right.

Here are all the goodies.
