Anti-incumbent Intentions Are Real

A February CNN poll article affirms the PEW poll:

The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll, released Tuesday, indicates that only 34 percent feel that current federal lawmakers deserve re-election, with 63 percent saying no.

According to the survey, 51 percent feel their own member of Congress should be re-elected -- also an all-time low in CNN polling -- while 44 percent say their representative doesn't deserve to be returned to office in November.

The problem with sentiment however, is that it can change on a dime. A strategy with a clear goal, however is something one can commit to, unwaveringly, until that goal is reached. That is core of what Vote Out Incumbents Democracy is about. Organizing voters to turn their anti-incumbent sentiment into strategic voting, election after election, until the goal of improved government and political process in America is achieved in a permanent way.

As the table shows, independent voters are carrying the commitment further than either Democrats or Republicans. But, the percentage of Democrats and Republicans today, who do not want to see their own representatives reelected is remarkable. VOID's objective is to reach these voters with the message that they are not alone, they can become organized, and together, we can and will change the future of governance in America for the better.

Your support is important and necessary. Whether your support comes in the form of just letting others know about VOID, volunteering your skills and talents to VOID, or making as generous a donation as possible, it is appreciated, it is monumentally important, and it speaks highly of your intelligence, love of our country, care for our nation's future, and respect for your fellow Americans.
