Another Reason for Democrats to Vote No on Obamacare

It's bad news for Democratic congressional candidates.  According to Rasmussen Reports:

Republican candidates have stretched their lead over Democrats to six points in the Generic Congressional Ballot.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 43% would vote for their district's Republican congressional candidate while 37% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent. Republicans have held the lead for over four months now.

Voters not affiliated with either party continue to heavily favor Republicans, 43% to 20%.

A vote for nationalizing the health care system could easily be the final nail in the political coffin for a number of moderate Democratic legislators.
