It turns out a quarter of self-described conservatives have come to the same conclusion about the current Republicans as I have:
The AP-Ipsos survey asked 789 registered voters if the election for the House were held today, would they vote for the Democratic or Republican candidate in their district. Democrats were favored 51 percent to 40 percent.
Not surprisingly, 81 percent of self-described liberals said they would vote for the Democrat. Among moderates, though, 56 percent backed a Democrat in their district and almost a quarter of conservatives – 24 percent – said they will vote Democratic.
Those conservatives, like me, may not be comfortable with many Democratic policies. But they are less comfortable with the Republican abandonment of limited government, and have decided they need an ass-whupping. Amen.
