Source - Based on Bearing Drift and other sources: When asked if Connolly’s support of sequestration made voters “less likely” to vote for him in the VA 11th Congressional District, the response was overwhelmingly “less likely”, by a margin of 47-19. Connolly initially voted for sequestration, the meat cleaver spending cut that has badly hurt Northern Virginia jobs and families in the 11th District. Moreover, these poll numbers come from a survey population that was 72% Democrat or Independent. The Rep/Dem/Ind shares were Rep 28/ Dem 41/Ind 30. The Scholte campaign has shown strong activity within the district, online and on the air, and has some golden opportunities to hammer Connolly on these wedge issues. Moreover these poll numbers also have implications in the Senate race. If voters in Northern Virginia reject candidates who backed sequestration, that does not bode well for Connolly or Mark Warner. Warner was one of the architects of sequestration. Connollys prospects were also damaged by peoples reaction to Connollys astoundingly callous treatment of the friends and families of our heroic Benghazi warriors and casualties.
