GOP takes a hit in CNN Poll; Do they care??

A recent CNN poll showed that the majority of Americans blame Republicans for the Government shutdown and the loss of billions of dollars to the US economy.  But do they care?

The hard line conservative Republicans come largely from congressional districts that are so carefully gerrymandered that it doesn't matter what the general population thinks.  These guys are going to get re-elected no matter what.

Isn't it time to get rid of the gerrymandering process and have an independent agency define congressional districts based on population and geometry rather than politics?
