Afternoon Jolt

By Josh Feit August 31, 2010

Today's winner is Tim Eyman

Erica wrote about the polling numbers earlier today, but to recap: A plurality of Democrats (41 percent) support Eyman's I-1053, which would reinstate the two-thirds legislative majority rule for raising taxes. (29 percent of Democrats say they're opposed to the measure and 30 percent are undecided.)

With that kind of Democratic support, the measure is polling  55 percent 'Yes' overall.

Today's loser, according to the gang at Nerd Hour here at the Five Point, the Democrats.

Says one nerd, not only are they going along with Eyman, but today's Gallup poll is pretty daunting.

*Another Nerd suggests President Obama is today's loser. "He's got a speech about the one campaign promise he kept and no one's  paying attention."
