Minimum wage stalemate shapes election year battle
Democrats and Republicans claim victory after last week's failed GOP bid to cut estate taxes and raise the minimum wage. The vote blocked a bill Daniels funding research credits and college deductions, while keeping 5 million low wage workers stuck at 5.15 an hour. Analysts call the outcome a setback for Republicans and a political win for Democrats as both sides prepare for November amid a 27 percent job approval rating.
