New poll: Now, signs of real vulnerability for California's Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer
February 15, 2010 | 3:22 pm

...So, is California's brittle Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer about to become the next Harry Reid? Which is to say, embattled at home.

As Reid worked the wallets of San Francisco on Presidents' Day to raise money for his endangered seat in Nevada, some stunning new Rasmussen Reports poll out today makes a compelling point:

For the second straight month the three-term senator is unable to break the 50% mark against any potential Republican opponents, the historical measuring mark of vulnerability for an incumbent nine months before an election.

For a Democrat in a Democrat state that gave Barack Obama 61% of its votes in 2008 (and still likes him more than many other places) to be mired in the mid-40's is a sign of real trouble. This is especially so given the fact that disgruntled voters gave Democrats control of the House, Senate and White House in 2008, expecting something to....

...happen beyond another congressional payraise...

The people are frustrated, they feel that the members of Congress are ignoring them. And they are sick and tired of it, they believe that elected officials should care about what they think and not only stick to their own political beliefs.

Truthfully I feel that many incumbents are in trouble this election season. Only time will tell!!!!

We the People need to decide if we are going to elect someone for their beliefs or whether or not we are going to vote for the candidate that best shares our beliefs!!!

Boxer has lots of issues, this one though would be enough for me to vote against her, if I could vote in CA:

exactly. But i hope that people really do listen to what they say and who they surrond themselves with rather than just thinking " Well a dem didn't work, let's vote Repub" it doesn't help if you just switch back and forth between these people. They are all a cancer and need to be replaced. If it was possible everyone in DC needs flushed out and new people in. Where is that reset button when you need one.

The system may be working. The politicans are seeing the voters are pissed off, and they are leaving before getting defeated

I will say the system is working when Pelosi is defeated

The system is purging itself of the dead weight

I hope the voters are going to take the country back to its roots. Smaller government, low taxes, and strong defense
