New Poll Shows Virginians Overwhelmingly Reject Eric Cantor’s Political Gamesmanship


Just 27% of Virginia voters hold a favorable opinion



RICHMOND,
VA — Yesterday, Public Policy Polling released the results a new survey
showing Virginians have a very low opinion of Eric Cantor (VA-07).


“This
poll shows that Virginians are tired of Eric Cantor’s partisan
political gamesmanship.
Virginians are looking to Congress for solutions
— instead, Cantor spends his time on power politics and focused on his
own personal political ambitions.” said Wayne Powell, Democratic
candidate for Congress in Virginia’s 7th congressional district.


“Virginians
all across the state reject Cantor's ideological obstructionism.
Virginians remember that, after last summer’s earthquake, Cantor held
disaster relief for Louisa County hostage. He delayed help for his own
constituents to score political points with his Tea Party cronies in his
own party. Even Republicans are growing leery of Cantor’s extreme
partisan power grabs,” added Powell.


Just 27% of Virginians have a favorable opinion of Cantor. Across demographic groups, Eric Cantor has alienated Virginia voters.
  • Eric Cantor’s unpopularity in Virginia is gender blind: Only 28% of men and 27% of women have a favorable opinion of Cantor
  • Across
    age groups, Cantor’s unpopularity holds constant. Just 25% of young
    voters have a favorable opinion of Cantor, and only 30% of voters older
    than 65 like Cantor.
  • Only 16% of moderate voters have a favorable impression of Eric Cantor, and 51% of moderates have an unfavorable impression.
  • Independent voters disapprove of Cantor by 49% unfavorable to 28% favorable.
“These
poll numbers prove what I have been hearing all around the district.
Voters are tired of politics as usual and, in particular, are tired of
Eric and his personal political games. People in the seventh district
want a congressman wh
o will work for them,” said Powell.

Wayne
Powell is running for Congress in Virginia’s 7th congressional
district. Wayne is a retired Army Colonel, a small business owner, and a
community lawyer.
These are amazing
numbers and they show that Cantor's reckless grandstanding has badly
damaged his reputation. Cantor used to be a nameless, faceless lackey
of Tom DeLay, but now he's stepped into the spotlight and Virginians
don't like what they've seen.

It would be WONDERFUL if Cantor lost in November.

    His personality, body language and presence would support that in my opinion.

    Virginia voters in the 7th district will decide who they want to represent them. If Cantor loses in November, it will certainly be a blow to Republican Party politics. Given his high profile, a close election will not serve him well....but it may serve the people of the 7th District as Cantor will need to return to focusing on their issues and concerns. If he loses, the winner will certainly be focused on local political issues for at least the first few years.

    An overwhelming number of people in CA. cannot stomach Nancy Pelosi either but she keeps on winning her DISTRICT, which is what matters when one is a House Rep.

    So, what's this clowns point? Nothing else in the news to scribble about today?

    Ignore him, if he becomes abusive or overly disrupted block him. He will go away because he never contributes anything to anyone anyway, oh, except maybe a rave.
