Things look really bleak for the Republicans when you lay everything out the way Greg Sargent did in his column this morning. Steve Benen drives home the same point. Recent polling is brutal for conservatives. On almost every issue being debated in Washington right now, about two-thirds of the American people either side with the Democrats or side with the position that the Democrats are espousing.
Even assault rifle and large ammo cartridge bans have majority support.
On the other hand, only a quarter of the people seem to be paying attention to the debate over the sequester. At a certain point, I think people tune out when there is one fiscal crisis after another. I think this is also bad news for Republicans, because when the sequester kicks in, a lot more people will start paying attention, and they’ll all be hopping mad.
