Rasmussen sampled likely voters and in each case of major legislation the Democrats call accomplishments, bailouts, stimulus and health care aka Obamacare, the majority or plurality believe a politician that voters for those laws should not be reelected.50 percent of all likely voters are opposed to the reelection of a politician that voted for Obamacare with 43 percent saying they deserve to be reelected.
53 percent of likely voters are opposed to the reelection of a politician that voted for the auto industry bailout with 36 percent saying they should be returned to Congress.
50 percent of all likely voters are opposed to the reelection of a politician that voted for the $787 stimulus package with 41 percent saying they should be reelected.
More telling than those numbers though is the Independents because naturally with Democrats being the driving force behind those pieces of legislation, Democrats favor those politicians and Republicans are more likely to say they are oppoed to reelection of politicians that voted for the legislation.
But, tellingly, voters not affiliated with either party also feel strongly that supporters of the health care law, the auto bailouts and the stimulus should not be returned to Congress.

Since Democrats in Congress passed the health care law in late March, support for its repeal has ranged from a low of 53% to a high of 63%.Fifty-three percent (53%) of Americans still think the federal government bailout of General Motors and Chrysler was a bad idea.
Voters continue to give the stimulus plan mixed reviews. Thirty-four percent (34%) say it has helped the economy, but 39% think it has hurt the economy. Twenty-two percent (22%) say it has had no impact.
With results like these the final days of the campaigning before the November 2, 2010 midterms will most likely see campaign ads focusing on how current politicians voted for these issues, connecting the names of those who voted for Obamacare, bailouts and the stimulus package to each piece of legislation.
[Update] According to a new Gallup poll, 58 percent of Independents also view Nancy Pelosi unfavorably with 86 percent of Republicans and 22 percent of Democrats also holding an unfavorable view of Nancy Pelosi.
