NBC News reports
that “a prominent conservative group marshaled new polling data on
Wednesday to try and convince reluctant Republicans that forcing a
government shutdown over ‘Obamacare’ wouldn’t necessarily harm the GOP,
or cost the party control of the House of Representatives.”
“Heritage
Action for America – one of the conservative groups leading the charge
to pressure Republican lawmakers against voting to continue government
spending unless they can defund President Barack Obama’s health care law
– said its new poll of likely voters in 10 relatively competitive
congressional districts showed that forcing such a shutdown would not be
fatal for the GOP in 2014.”
