WASHINGTON -- A new poll has New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R) down a total of 15 points from her previous approval rating in a survey that followed her vote against requiring background checks for firearms purchases.

Ayotte's plunge underscores the changing politics around gun control and gun safety. In years past, lawmakers worried that a vote for gun control would bring the anger of the National Rifle Association. In the new reality, votes against gun control also carry a political risk, as the Ayotte poll indicates.

I'm glad she's lost points. Matter of fact, I hope this spreads, and anyone who voted against the bill is taken out of office and told to go home.

That would be about 4 Dems and almost all of the GOP.
 
This is great news to hear that the american people are ready to finish the job of throwing out the teabagger trash so liberty and prosperity can be restored.

In years past, lawmakers worried that a vote for gun control would bring the anger of the National Rifle Association. In the new reality, votes against gun control also carry a political risk, as the Ayotte poll indicates.

A full three-quarters of New Hampshire voters support such background checks, along with 56 percent of Republicans, according to Public Policy Polling. A WMUR Granite State Poll taken in January and February found that more than 9 in 10 state residents supported implementing background checks at gun shows.

It's not entirely clear yet how opposition to background checks will play out at the polls, but there are signs Ayotte’s vote may have taken a toll.

In October, the last time that PPP surveyed voters about Ayotte, she had a 48-35 approval rating. She has now tumbled underwater, with 46 percent disapproving and 44 percent approving. The 11-point surge in disapproval threatens Ayotte's 2016 reelection, when she could face popular Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan. Ayotte won her 2010 race by 23 points, but in a hypothetical matchup against Hassan trails 46-44.

Forty-five percent of independents in the state disapproved of Ayotte, up 13 points since October. Half of voters said her vote on background checks made them less inclined to vote for her, with only a quarter saying it made them more likely to support her.

My thoughts exactly.

BTW..................do you think that these politicians are aware that every vote they make is recorded on the internet, and not only that, but many people are tired of being lied to, and can check out if their representative is telling the truth or not?

Interestingly enough..................on a hearing about jobs this week, NOT ONE SINGLE REPUBLICAN showed up to discuss it.

Why is that? Didn't they run on a platform of "jobs, jobs, jobs" to get the vote the last 2 times?
 
That's what comes form belonging to a party that doesn't believe in facts.
The Sunlight Foundation ran the numbers and found that after spending nearly $11 million in the general election, the National Rifle Association got a less than one percent return on its investment this cycle. That is, less than one percent of the money went toward the desired result.
The group supported 27 winning candidates, but most of its money was spent targeting winning Democrats (including over $7 million against President Obama) or bolstering losing Republicans (including $1.8 million supporting Mitt Romney and $500,000 backing Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock).
National Rifle Association shut out on Election Day

Making up your own polls doesn't count in the end.
 
If the Leftytoons weren't a bunch of pussies it would have passed. Nice fail though.

You are one to speak of liberty and prosperity when people like you are willing to delegate it to the masses proportionately; so much so that there is only equal liberty and equal prosperity, not bountiful liberty and bountiful prosperity! Absolutely disconcerting.

I guess you missed the part where New England, apart from Chicago, has some of the strictest gun laws in the United States. Oh, and they have some of the most Liberal voters in the United States. So when someone votes against their wishes, yest there will be backlash. I guess they don't remember what happened at Sandy Hook.

The right wingers are too stupid to realize that and getting their asses handed to them last year clearly had no effect on their mental capabilities.

Say hello to the democrats taking back the house next year! :clap2::clap2:
 
A poll from a liberal polling place is evidence that people want something we already have as law? PPP? and from huffy puffy none the less. Damn I thought you fucking idiots had something.
