What Happens When Voters Start Paying Attention?

A number of polls have found that the Ryan budget is very unpopular once it is explained to voters. Nate Silver sees trouble ahead for the GOP:

If these poll results are right, they represent a lot of danger to Republicans because they suggest that voters’ assessments of the Medicare proposal are not yet fully “priced in” to their views of the parties more broadly. Right now, most people aren’t paying all that much attention to the budget debates or to domestic politics more generally. But they will tune in at some point between now and next November, and when they do they may find that the Republicans’ approach to the budget is not to their liking.
