Tomblin is the most popular pol here, at 47/35. Manchin has fallen from 61/23 to 46/44 and Rockefeller is actually negative, 45/46.
I think that's pretty telling of the effect Obama and the perception of his policies in WV has had... for Manchin to see such a drastic drop.
Didn't Manchin also get hit after the Toomey-Manchin gun control bill? I always thought that was part of it.
I thought that too, but apparently not:
There seems to be an extremely large disconnect between voters heavily favoring expanded background checks while simultaneously tanking the popularity of people who support them. This happened in the Colorado recalls as well. The NRA is very good at what they do, that's for sure.
