Anyone who has read this blog for any amount of time knows that I am a huge advocate of campaign finance reform. Our democracy has been destroyed by the current system of “flood them with money” to the point that we no longer have a democracy, but rather an auction. Now Gallup is out with […]
“The Fix” in today’s Washington Post offers up this headline: Obama: The most polarizing president. Ever. When you look at how divided this country is that could be easy to conclude, but is it President Obama’s fault? First let’s take a look at how they come to this conclusion: For 2011, Obama’s third year in […]
The blindness of the right is mindboggling at times. Over at Hot Air, Ed Morrissey has a post up entitled “Taxpayers to Obama: Keep your hands off our deductions”. Here’s what Ed says: In his speech on Wednesday, Barack Obama suggested that eliminating some tax deductions might be necessary to close the budget deficit, at […]
The whole argument that the Democrats didn’t listen to the American people that Republicans like John Boehner keeps telling us is starting to fail. Look at this from Gallup: As you may know, yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that restructures the nation’s healthcare system. All in all, do you think it […]
Gallup has a new poll out showing that a majority of Americans wants Congress to suspend the current health care legislation: These results are not shocking, but I really wish Gallup would have thrown in the third option of having no reform at all. If that were the case then the 39% would still be […]
Gallup’s latest polling of congressional approval ratings have them at 21%, down 10% from last month. This marks a pretty significant dive on the downward trend that has been occurring since March of this year. The biggest drop in support has come from Democrats. Last month 54% of Democrats approved of how Congress was doing […]
I had noticed that Rasmussen seemed to change their way they track presidential approvals once Obama took office. Rasmussen had always had a variable approval rating system. They ask if you strongly approve, somewhat approve, somewhat disapprove or strongly disapprove of the President’s performance. On the surface that doesn’t seem to bad, but during Bush’s […]
I was checking out Gallup’s site and saw this: No Mandate for Criminal Probes of Bush Administration Most favor investigations into controversial terror techniques, possible abuse of Justice Dept. Sounds like America just doesn’t want to see Bush punished – doesn’t it? Well now, let’s have a quick gander at the actual poll results:{[}]lt;/p> HMMM […]
USA Today/Gallup’s final poll has Obama 53%, McCain 42%. This is a trend we been seeing in the final polls. McCain’s argument of the polls tightening have been nullified. Of course it’s up to all of us to make sure these numbers stick or are exceeded. Remember to get out and vote tomorrow and offer […]
Gallup has Obama winning Tuesday’s debate 56%-23%. That’s a huge margin. I wonder what McCain will try at the next debate.
