In it, it shows that only 35% of respondents wanted Schmidt to be re-elected, while 49% wanted a change. This didn’t help McEwen win the primary, but it did show that there was considerable misgiving about the way she had been representing her constituents - or her insensitive comments about Representative John Murtha (D-PA) that set off a national firestorm of criticism. Those earlier numbers were confirmed in a poll in July that showed the two candidates to be tied at 44% support. Here are a few snippets from the poll, which was conducted by Momentum Analysis: There is more to this race than simply a bad national climate for Republicans. Freshman Congresswoman Jean Schmidt’s repeated missteps during her short tenure have made her a well-known, and unpopular figure. She is net unfavorable (41% favorable, 46% unfavorable), with twice as many having a “very unfavorable” impression (30%) as a “very favorable” impression of her (15%). When we examine elected officials’ mean favorability ratings on a 4-point scale, where 4 means “very favorable” and 1 means “very unfavorable,” Schmidt’s mean score (2.30) makes her more unpopular than every figure tested, except for Governor Taft (mean: 1.84). Indeed, Schmidt is less popular than President Bush (2.48 mean score).
