Debbie Wasserman Schultz’ (DWS) reelection campaign may be sagging under the weight of Barack Obama’s slide in popularity among American Jews. The most recent poll data from Florida’s 23rd Congressional District shows DWS is leading Republican Karen Harrington by 4.5% which is just inside the margin of error.
A Gravis Marketing poll conducted on October 1 and 2 (before Wednesday night’s debate) found DWS receiving 44.2% to Harrington’s 39.7% with a very significant 16.1% of potential voters calling themselves “undecided.”
Being under 45% with a month to go is a precipitous drop in support for DWS who beat Harrington 60/39 in 2010. DSW under 45% this late with a 16.1% “undecided” might not mean Harrington wins, but it will mean DWS will have to spent money and time campaigning in her own District rather than going elsewhere to help other Democrats including Barack Obama.
The District has 13% more Democrats and although the geographic area is slightly different than it was in 2008, the core of this District voted 63% for Obama in 2008. This means the 69 % White and largely Jewish District, at this point, is supporting DWS 18 points less than it supported Obama in 2008 and 15 points less than it supported her in 2010. Worse still, DWS actually trails 36/35.7 among those who are certain to vote for either candidate. At this point the 13 point Democrat edge in the District is not helping her.
This begs the question: Why would a Jewish Democrat be under 45% at this point while campaigning in a highly Jewish Democrat District?
A possible answer comes from an early July story which didn’t get much notice except among Jewish voters in the District. A DNC delegate was forced to resign when her anti-Semitic Emails became public. The Jewish voters in South Florida noticed this and it made them watch the Democrats’ convention more closely. What they saw was more anti-Semitic antics from Arab American Democrat delegates.
And those “undecided” voters, where will they go? Two separate in-depth studies came to the same conclusion: 82% will eventually go to the challenger. Following this formula gives Wasserman Schultz 48.2% and Harrington 51.7%. None of this factors in the reason for these voters being “undecided” which may simply be their way of saying they’re not voting for Shultz over Obama’s treatment of Jews in general and Israel in particular. In that case they could break even bigger – say 14/2 for Harrington.

We can only hope !
POHS dosen’t deserve a single Jewish Vote because of his actions toward Israel. Anyone that Votes for are GOYUM!!
She is not popular with any group any more with her stupidity and deceitfulness showing on national
media. Why do you think she is done as DNC Chair? I hope the voters in her district give her what she
deserves…a one way ticket home!
a p.s.
Even goofball Howard Dean lasted more than one year as DNC Chair, what does that tell you?
Hard to beat both the plastic surgery and the PHOTOSHOP lobbies. IN case you missed it, take a look at how damned good photoshop is…DWS photoshopped into a human being:

HILARIOUS!!!!
You see the nose on this woman how big it is thank GOD the air is free or she and her fellow jews in congress would try to charge us pay for it.
boone1: Photoshopped into a human being? I don’t think there is a “human” side to her. But your comment was hilarious. And photoshopped or not, you can’t airbrush the soul. She is despicable.
Oops! Meant to really address my comment to: Tim Menius
Wasserman Schultz is a Soros Hitler-Jew, she has no regard for anyone and is a known liar. She and Cutter have been caught in so many lies and no one challenges them on it.
You are right. Wasserman-Schultz has lied too, too many times. She is a self-hating Jew, a traitor to Israel. She said that she loves israel. Well, no she doesn’t. She loves herself. “Actions speak louder than words.”
I think people have learned that you aren’t going to be able to challenge the media on anything, and get a response. There is a silent majority out there who are watching and who are very angry with the lies of the left and the flagrant media malpractice that has become all too apparent since Obama got elected. On November 6, Americans are going to right this wrong.
Great comment, they are both disgusting people and when their time comes, they will have to explain their position to the All-Mighty, as they begin their decent down under. Any Jew that votes for either one of these despicable human-beings, will I believe in the end, have the same fate.
Obama is a Muslim and Valerie Jarred is a Muslim, and they both have made their position on Israel very clear, as has Hilary Clinton, by her having given hundred’s of million dollars to the Palestinians. In the end God will sort them all out and he wil make certain that there will be sufficient room for Soro’s and the rest of his corrupt gang of gangsters to spend eternity together.
If any of you have forgotten, God selected the Israelites as his chosen one, those that single out the Jews to punish them, will in the end be punished by God. I have no idea if DWS will ever see this message, but if she does, she should get down onto her knee’s and beg for forgiveness, as should all Jews that might have cast a vote into the sewers by having voted for a Democrat, any Democrat.
They are evil, they have always been evil,they were responsible for in slaving African American’s, they formed the Ku Klux Klan, they voted in the Jim Crow Laws, and unfortunately most minority groups are clueless, why, because the Democrats learned long ago that by giving freebee’s to people, they won’t take the time to look under the blanket, well know what, God does look under the blanket.
I hope the good people of her FL district have ascertained what a poor representative she is….vote for Karen Harrington….give her a chance!!
Sure hope she loses as I cant stand to listen to her much longer. She is a whiny, ignorant fool.
If this self-serving, liberal hag didn’t have her head so far up The Fraud-in-Chief’s arse, she might not be dragging behind. It’s well known she has funnelled funds from the DNC to her own campaign, and is STILL in trouble. She has betrayed her fellow Jews, she has betrayed America, and should be replaced. She needs to be tossed on the trash heap of failures and obscurity.
