Rasmussen tends to poll likely voters whereas Gallup polls registered voters. That's why the results are often at odds.

And the libs here basically are ok with these cowards dereliction of duty. Something tells me if the GOP ran away from the ObamaCare bill vote, that they'd be singing a different tune.

Just think, if it weren't for the Fab14, we wouldn't be arguing about this. What fun would that be?

Right now the Democrats aren't doing their job before they ran away. What people fail to understand that doing their job = voting because they were hired by all people in the state, not just the union members or Democrats who voted for them. Right now you can bet there are people who support this legislation and voted for a representative who is hiding in IL.

I'll bet they never ran when they had the majority and voted for legislature that the minority wouldn't support.
Typical, the can dish it out but, can't take it.
