The Collins Report today notes that Wenzel Strategies, a well thought of, and of course accurate, pollster, reported the above. This is stupendous and when supported by subsequent polls will rock the foundations of the Democrats. Perhaps I should write “further rock” as the entire liberal structure is already precarious.

Blacks, who voted for President Obama in record numbers are now divided 62/38 believable. That is a thirty point drop among a group that is as essential as air to national Dems and all Dems in tight races. Native Spanish speakers, who also bought President Obama’s “hope and change”, are now divided 50/50 on believability. The Dem/Libs cannot disregard these numbers absent a true death wish.

Once the leader of anything loses credibility among his most loyal followers, it is close to over. The leader simply cannot convince anyone that “things will be better” or “…it is the Republican’s fault”. These bromides now have no resonance and sound as trite as they are.

It is not time to hire a hall for the wake, but it is time to bear down, work harder, and for the sake of our children cast the Dems out of the Temple…for good.

I'm a conservative and I won't be voting for a democrat, the party of the culture of corruption. But rather I vote for a republican depends upon who is running. If the republicans run another McCain (or Romney etc) they can count on not getting my vote either.

What does that mean?

[The_Victor]

Grain of salt necessary here. John McCain, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, etc, would all identify themselves as conservative in this poll.

And you notice how few say they’re leftists?

[Impy]

Likely it doesn’t mean they won’t vote democrat.

“Conservative” usually comes in first in these polls.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Completely meaningless. Most Americans may view themselves as conservative but we have no stomach for cutting spending or raising taxes to match spending. Most Americans want middle class entitlements without paying for them—they want to keep the Ponzi scheme going until it collapses on their kids. Ask whether Americans are OK with raising taxes on everyone who makes more than, say, $175K, to 50% or 60%. I’d bet the farm most people would say yes. That is liberal. We shouldn’t fool ourselves into thinking that most Americans are “with us” in terms of limiting government.

So 54% don’t?
