* Less than one in four Americans want to see Members of Congress re-elected in 2012, the lowest in two decades
* Among registered voters it’s worse - 21% says Members deserve re-election, 70% say no
* This could mean a double wave - incumbents of both parties voted out
* The caveat - things could change as we’re still 15 months out AND people feel more favourable towards their own Member
* Another poll shows Republicans are more unpopular now than they were during the Clinton impeachment; and the tea party’s in the toilet; not that the Dem’s are smelling like roses, mind you
* However, the debt debate bolstered Americans’ view of Democrats and lowered their view of Republicans - tea party went down to a new low
