Poll: Dems Drop 13 Points On Generic Ballot In 2 Months

The CNN/ORC poll released Thursday found that a Republican candidate leads a Democratic candidate on the generic ballot, 49 percent to 44 percent. The new findings from the mid-December poll are a switch from two months ago when Democrats had the advantage over Republicans on the generic ballot. Back then, the same polling outlet found Democrats leading Republicans on the generic ballot, 50 percent to 42 percent.

So a person who does not exist will lose to another person who does not exist in an election 311 days from now. Sigh. Perhaps the wildly fluctuating polls had something to do with this?

Only 6 people were able to enroll at healthcare.gov on Oct. 1

Or maybe because the right-wing and mainstream (is that redundant?) news sites are pounding the “Obamacare is a failure!!” story and ignoring any good news?

Karl “Math Guy” Rove is predicting a big year for Republicans. And that is good news for John McCain Democrats if we run on the Affordable Care Act and the minimum wage and Heartless Republicans:

And this won’t hurt the cause one bit: McDonald’s Ditches Worker Advice Website Due To ‘Unwarranted Scrutiny’

Before it was shut down this week, the McResource site had advised McDonald’s workers to avoid holiday debt by selling their Christmas presents for cash, and warned them not to eat fast food. McResource also advised workers to break their food into small pieces as a way of tricking themselves into feeling full, and suggested that workers “sing away stress.”

“Unwarranted scrutiny”, aka, EPIC cluelessness.

Please proceed, rich minimum-wage corporations getting rich because your workers are kept alive via government safety nets. Please proceed.
