PPP: Rush Limbaugh losing Republicans in Super Tuesday states
by Kaili Joy Gray
Well, well, well. Looks like even Republicans are turned off by Rush Limbaugh's slut crusade. Via Public Policy Polling:
It's not exactly surprising to learn that Rush's slut crusade hasn't worked out very well for him. He attacked Sandra Fluke for testifying in support of a popular new health care policy, supported by most Americans who also have a favorable view of the very health care Rush insists is de facto evidence that a woman is a slut.
Rush has already lost nine of his sponsors, and now even his Republican base is fleeing from his sorry ass. Maybe it's because even Republicans have wives and sisters and daughters who use health care, and even they don't much care for the women they love being called sluts.
Click here to send an email to Rush's other corporate sponsors, demanding that they stop supporting him and his slut crusade.

Our numbers suggest that Rush Limbaugh has seen significant erosion in his popularity with Republican voters over the last week. The last time we polled on him nationally he was at 80/12 with GOPers. But now we find him below 50% in all three of these states: he's at 45/28 in Ohio, 46/29 in Tennessee, and 44/30 in Georgia.

PPP:
Republican women in particular have become very skeptical about Limbaugh in the states holding tomorrow's 2 most competitive contests. He's at only 39/28 with them in Ohio and 36/30 in Tennessee.
