I'm surprised
the number isn't a bit higher:
Most voters continue to believe it would be better for the country if the majority of Congress is thrown out this November, but they also remain unconvinced that a Republican takeover will make a noticeable difference.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 19% of voters think it would be better for the country if most incumbents in Congress were reelected this November. Sixty-five percent (65%) disagree and say it would be better if most were defeated. Sixteen percent (16%) aren’t sure.
This next piece of the poll may tell us what some of the problem is:
Fifty-four percent (54%) of the Political Class say there will not be a noticeable change in the lives of most Americans if the Republicans win control of the Congress. Mainstream voters are more conflicted: 44% say there will be a noticeable change, while 32% say there will not be and 24% are undecided.
If the Political Class thinks there won't be a noticeable change if the GOP takes over we either need a new Political Class or a new GOP. Something is wrong if politicians can't see the difference, or think there won't be a difference.

I think we would best served if we could vote out the incumbents and not replace them.
The sad truth is that without a super majority in the Senate there will be little possibility to undo the havoc created by the current administration. Until Pres Obama leaves office there will be little opportunity to even tamper with the funding as any veto will be unlikely to be overturned. If the Republicans attempt much of an attempt to overturn or negation of this administration's garbage, they will face bruising and largely unsuccessful fights until Pres Obama is removed from office.
