Across the Board, Voters Are Not Happy with Blunt, the Ultimate Washington Insider with a Record of Wasteful Spending

Jefferson City, MO – PPP released new public poll results Wednesday on the Missouri 2010 Senate race.  Among the findings:

• 65% of Missourians think that during Congressman Roy Blunt has been “part of the problem…when it comes to huge deficits and too much government spending” during the last 13 years he has spent in Congress.

• Almost half of Republicans (47%) do not support Congressman Blunt, the GOP establishment-backed candidate, in the Republican primary.

“One thing is clear in this poll – that regardless of party affiliation, voters are disgusted with Congressman Blunt’s record of wasteful government spending and handouts for corporate special interests,” said Brian Zuzenak, Executive Director of Missouri Democratic Party. “Congressman Blunt will try and reinvent himself over the next many months as a fiscal conservative, but he can’t erase his record or the damage he’s done to our nation’s economy as part of the Republican leadership.”
