| House Majority Leader Eric Cantor |
New
polling from Virginia’s 7th Congressional District surprises many, one of the
more reliably conservative districts in the country, shows surprising
vulnerabilities for Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, especially on
the issue of women’s health according to ThinkProgress.
In
a poll from Harrison Hickman obtained
exclusively by ThinkProgress, voters say they would support a pro-choice
candidate over a candidate who is pro-life by an unexpectedly large margin, 68
percent to 23 percent.
The
poll also calls into question Republicans’ scorched earth policy when it comes
to working with the Obama administration. Fifty nine percent of voters say they
would support a candidate who works with President Obama some of the time
compared to just 32 percent of respondents who say they would vote for the
candidate who opposes virtually everything proposed by the White House, as
Cantor and the rest of the GOP have insisted upon for much of Obama’s first
term.
When
asked about Cantor specifically, voters disapprove of his handling of
government spending, health care and reigning in the budget deficit in
Washington.
For
the house majority leader 43 percent of voters say they would replace Eric Cantor
compared to just 41 percent who would reelect him. Cantor is running against
Democratic Wayne Powell, a 30-year army veteran and moderate Democrat.
This
is a sample of how fed up the American people are, you also must know that Eric
Cantor is bought and paid for by big business, corporations, and special
interest groups. Eric Cantor has lead the house republicans to vote 33 times to
repeal the “Affordable Care Act” known as Obamacare. Eric Cantor also championed
the plan of fellow republican Paul Ryan idea to privatize Medicare.
Eric Cantor is just another rubber stamp politician for the select few.
