WASHINGTON — ObamaCare is giving Democrats a heart attack — with the party suffering a dramatic drop in a congressional ballot test since the disastrous rollout of the federal Web site to sign up for health insurance.
The latest CNN/ORC poll gives Republicans a 49-44 advantage over Democrats on the "generic" congressional ballot, when respondents are asked which party they favor in the 2014 midterm elections.
That's a 13-point swing from two months ago, after the government shutdown that was equally disastrous for the Republicans gave the Democrats a 50-42 advantage.
Most of the movement has come from men, whose support for Democrats has dropped from 46 percent in October to 35 now.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the party's House campaign arm, immediately sent out an e-mail appeal for cash, citing the "tough news."
"The latest Republican assault on ObamaCare has proven to be dangerously effective. If we don't respond to Republican smears with the facts right now, the damage to the Affordable Care Act AND our chances in 2014 could be irreversible," wrote the group's "rapid response" team.
The generic question isn't as good an indicator as individual races for the 2014 elections, but it can show how the electorate is leaning.
Americans for Prosperity, a conservative group that gets funding from the billionaire Koch brothers, released a new $600,000 TV ad buy Thursday slamming two first-term lawmakers for voting against a GOP effort to repeal ObamaCare.
In another sign that President Obama could become a drag on his party as it tries to keep control of the Senate in 2014, his personal approval rating dropped to 39 percent — with 54 percent disapproval in the latest Gallup poll.
Meanwhile, ObamaCare problems continue. The performance of a main Healthcare.gov contractor continued to draw scrutiny this week, as Massachusetts and Vermont officials reviewed legal options and refused to pay additional funds to Montreal-based CGI Group. CGI also does IT work on the state-run exchanges.
Massachusetts has paid $11 million to the company on a $69 million contract, but has had to resort to a different software system and rely on paper for people signing up for new insurance, the Boston Globe reported.
The Obama administration Thursday began the process of sorting through paper applications for insurance coverage by people who failed to get through on the Healthcare.gov Web site by the Dec. 24 deadline.
