National Journal: Poll: Shutdown Hurting Republicans in Battleground Districts - House Republicans are already taking a drubbing at home, a new poll of two dozen congressional districts shows.

"Democrats must pick up 17 seats to win control of the House. These poll results make clear that if the election were held today, such a pickup would be well within reach," said pollster Jim Williams. "The surveys challenge the conventional wisdom that gerrymandering has put the House out of reach for Democrats."
