How will the last 3 weeks affect both parties mid-term re-elections?

Now that the US government passed a new bill to fund the government for a few more months and raise the debt ceiling, several hundred thousand people can return to work and we can go about our business. Coming across a poll today, I learned that the tea-party has lost a lot of its support and likability, which some attribute to Ted Cruz. So this got me thinking, with mid-term elections coming up next year, how will this affect all parties come roughly this time next year? Will people finally have had enough and vote out more republicans? or will democrats be seen as being not willing to negotiate and be ousted?

Being someone who is more in the center but leans more left than right when it comes to politics, I believe that most people will have forgotten about how close we came to a default and not a whole heck of a lot will change, although I do see more conservative seats being lost than rheir counterparts across the isle.

Agree with leon, it will be forgotten and the next crisis will come.  Remember the cliff before the debt ceiling, remember the crisis before that remember the cliff before that......
Not sure it matters anymore, in fact it may get them votes considering if they had succeeded, millions of people wouldn't be losing their coverage.  Lets see millions lose it and 100,000 get it,  sounds like a good plan.  All the while knowingly lying about it.  It's really kinda sad, Dems have been saying for the last few years Repub are making up all these lies.  Who were the ones lying?

As a foreigner I can't really comment on American politics, but I used to watch a program on (I think) NBC Europe called "Equal Time" with Mary Matelin and Jane Wallace, and I would be glad if the Tea-Party disappeared and you got back to discussing matters on real American values. High hope, perhaps?

As a American, I really can't comment on EU politics, but I used to travel over Europe and  and listen to people, and I would be glad if every Socialist in Europe disappeared and you could go back to discussing matters on real European values, as in the erosion and the decline of.
