Are Independents Turning from
Republicans?<http://politicalwire.com/archives/2010/03/23/are_independents_turning_from_republicans.html>

A new Democracy Corps
poll<http://www.democracycorps.com/strategy/2010/03/something-is-happening/?section=Analysis>finds
Republicans may have crossed a line with independent voters.

Specifically, favorability ratings among independents for incumbent
Republican members of Congress has dropped by 11 points in the last month,
to just 42%. The generic congressional ballot shows Republicans dropping 12
points among independents.

Stan Greenberg<http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/23/opinion/23greenberg.html?ref=opinion>:
"Why? Independent voters may have been stirred by Senator Jim Bunning's one-man
filibuster<http://politicalwire.com/archives/2010/02/26/bunning_launches_one-man_filibuster.html>that
stopped work sites and unemployment checks. They may have noticed the
Republicans' last stand for the insurance companies, just as one of the
largest insurers, WellPoint, raised its rates 39 percent."
