NEW POLL SHOWS BLUE DOG DEMS UNDER PRESSURE

From FoxNews.com: “Blue Dog Democrats are under intense pressure leding up to another vote on health care reform in the House of Representatives. Democratic leadership is leaning on these Blue Dogs hard to come into line and vote for President Obama’s health care reform….However, a new poll suggests their constituents may hold them accountable for their votes this November. ‘The Polling Company’ has been surveying voters in up to 19 specific House districts, many of them in places where John McCain won in 2008. Now some Blue Dog Democrats find their 2010 re-election runs extremely vulnerable to their position on health care reform.  In Jason Altmire’s suburban Pittsburgh district 76% ‘oppose using tax dollars to pay for abortions,” and 58% ‘would be less likely to vote to re-elect Congressman Altmire if he votes for healthcare legislation that includes federal funding of abortion.’” By Code Red
