I usually look at the polls on Mondays, and so do the Democrats. I'm also certainly feeling a lot better than they are for doing so.
On major issues, 48% of voters say that the average Tea Party member is closer to their views than President Barack Obama. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 44% hold the opposite view and believe the president’s views are closer to their own.
So much for the wing-nut reputation. The Tea Party is clearly mainstream and is far more representative, racially and otherwise, than is the Democrat party and makes NBC news look like a Klan rally. 40% of Independents identify with the Tea Party and the only reason it isn't higher is because there are still people not quite certain what the Tea Party is all about. No worries--the over-the-fence network will get around to them soon enough...
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of New York voters finds that 69% think it would be better if most incumbents in the state legislature were defeated this November. Just 12% say it would be better for the state if most of the incumbents were reelected. Another 18% aren’t sure.
That's a blue state folks. There is anti-incumbency sentiment in red states as well, but no where near this kind of power and depth. Red states just run better--judged by the lax standards of democratic governance.
Currently, two weeks after passage, 54% of the nation's likely voters still favor repealing the new law. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 42% oppose repeal.
That hasn't changed an iota since the Obama regime rammed it through--in spite the President's highly-staged-managed dog-and-pony show. This surprised me somewhat because people generally like 'free' stuff. Apparently there are more principled people in the U.S. than I've generally conceded.
Obama did help his own polls with the passage of health-care legislation, gaining a few points back due to improved opinions from within his base. Disapproval remains high (51%) and strong disapproval is at 41%. Its doubtful this is more than a temporary spike. Obama's media coverage has been relentless positive after health care legislation became law, but is turning sour again as it becomes clear that smoke and mirrors on the economy is accomplishing nothing. Obama's own people, doing the rounds of the Sunday morning shows, had to concede that high unemployment is here to stay for the foreseeable future under their regime. That puts them in a difficult political position--arguing that health-care is covering 30 million previously uninsured Americans but at the cost of 30 million unemployed or having given up seeking employment--not to mention the large number of underemployed people.
3 more years of liberal-Progressive oppression and misery before we can even begin to start working on a turn-around.
