MN-06: DCCC Poll Shows Bachmann Kissed up to Bush Too Many Times
UPDATE:
Rep. Bachmann claimed Friday night that Senator Obama and his wife Michelle may hold "anti-American views" and even called for the media to investigate other members of Congress to "find out if they are pro-America or anti-America."
This is not the first time Bachmann has made outrageous remarks but together, we can make sure this is the last. Watch the shocking video and help us fight back >>

Tinklenberg Holds Bachmann to 4 point lead; Her Approval Ratings Plummet
Last Friday, Minnesota Public Radio reported that the National Republican Congressional Committee planned to pull its television ads in Minnesota's third congressional district to defend Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann in Minnesota's sixth congressional district. They did so with good reason if their polling at all matches a poll the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee released today showing Bachmann with only 42 percent of the vote to Elwyn Tinklenberg's 38 percent, and 15 percent are undecided. Elwyn Tinklenberg has won the endorsements of both the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and the powerful Independence Party of Minnesota. The poll was conducted by Grove Insight, from October 10 thru 12, of 400 people with 4.9 margin of error.
The four point spread in the race
comes after the Alliance for a Better Minnesota television began running a
television ad highlighting Michele Bachmann's close ties to President Bush
including her infamous kiss at last year's State of the Union address (watch it here). According to the DCCC's poll,
President Bush's approval rating in the district is at an abysmal 18 percent and
Bachmann herself isn't fairing much better with only 34 percent. Additionally, 82 percent
of respondents said that the country is "off on the wrong
track."
"Michele Bachmann's days of kissing up to George Bush and the
failed Republican agenda are rapidly coming to an end," said Carrie James,
regional press secretary at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
"Michele Bachmann finds herself facing an electorate eager for change and
serious about holding George Bush and the Republicans accountable for their
neglect of the middle class. With just 19 days until Election Day momentum is on
El Tinklenberg's side."
