Rep. Michele Bachmann‘s latest poll numbers are frightening — if you’re Michele Bachmann or one of her apparently dwindling supporters. Only three in 10 likely Minnesota voters have a favorable opinion of the U.S. Congresswoman. The new PPP poll finds 29% of voters have a favorable opinion of Bachmann, and a whopping 59%, or six in ten voters have an unfavorable opinion of the three-term Congresswoman who is the head of the House’s Tea Party caucus and represents an extremely conservative district.
Bachmann’s hope will be in getting her ultra-conservative supporters to the polls. She has only a 44% approval rating with those who are “somewhat conservative,” but a 71% approval rating with those who are “very conservative.”
As The New Civil Rights Movement reported Monday, Bachmann is in a statistical tie with Democratic challenger Jim Graves. A poll, taken at the end of August, gives Bachmann just 48% of likely voters, and Graves 46%.

Fortunately, the "very conservative" base won't get her elected even if every last one of them turns out at the polls. She really screwed up when she refused to help alleviate teenage suicide efforts in her district and then kept on with her queer brand of KKKrister bullshit.
SHARING!
I hope that the educated and fair minded ppl in her district vote this stupid uniformed, Bigoted woman out! It is sad that she has been re-elected 3 times already. She is extreme and blinded with her narrow minded ness. Someone like this I would never be proud to represent me. Hopefully her constituents have been embarrassed and mortified enough by her lack of knowledge. And hate speech and want her gone! Here's hoping…..
One down … three to go =) (probably a few more than that … my top four anyway)
Listen to Jim Graves in a dogfight with Michele Bachmann:
"She goes after the bank bailouts, but is against Dodd-Frank and any new regulations."
"You are not going to get a budget done on one side of the aisle."
"… fearmongering is not going to bring jobs to this economy."
"So we went to the Independence Party and asked, 'Can you guys help us out a little bit?' Well they said, 'We like you, Graves, we'll support you.'"
Maybe the other candidates could learn a thing or two from Graves.
