A new survey of Minnesotans shows that
56% of the state's residents are embarrassed by Rep. Michele Bachmann. The
survey was commissioned by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Democracy
for America, and Credo Action. It was conducted by phone by Research 2000
on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1.
The survey follows recent divisive
statements by Bachmann that she believes President Barack Obama wants to
“annihilate” conservatives, that the U.S. faces "a curse and
extinction" if it fails to support Israel; and that government must "wean”
Americans off of social safety net programs like Medicare and Social Security.
There were some surprising findings
from the survey. While the Minneapolis-area district represented by Democratic
Rep. Keith Ellison led the state in finding Bachmann an embarrassment, the
relatively conservative District 8, the northern Minnesota area represented by
Rep. James Oberstar, came in second, with 69% of respondents responding
negatively to Bachmann.
In Bachmann’s own district 39% found
her embarrassing. However a majority of
independents surveyed in her district, a group likely to
determine the outcome of the next election in November, responded negatively to
Bachmann, with 62% answering that she was embarrassing.
She's a clown. What's wrong with the voters in her district?
