CNN has released a poll taken in the wake of the debt ceiling debate. Apparently, a majority of Americans now believe that their congressional representatives should NOT be re-elected. This is the first time a majority of Americans have felt that way about their specific congresspeople since the question was first asked 20 years ago. It also shows that the GOP and the Tea Party have fallen out of favor with a majority of the American Public, while the Democrats have managed to maintain their standing - now 14 points higher than any other group. If you're a statistics geek, like me, you'll enjoy reading the poll!
