Washington, D.C. – Election Day is only two weeks away, and as John McCain and Barack Obama make their final pitches to “close the deal” with voters, a stunning new ATI-News/Zogby poll shows a clear majority of undecided voters disagree with Obama’s plan for wealth redistribution in America.
“The major issue on voters’ minds right now is the economy, and the major voting bloc on candidates’ minds right now is the undecided voter,” said ATI-News president Brad O’Leary. “Our poll results show that undecided voters overwhelmingly reject Obama’s economic plan to redistribute wealth.”
The poll surveyed 1,214 likely voters nationwide and was conducted October 17-20. It has a margin of error of +/- 2.9 percentage points.
ATI-News/Zogby asked likely voters: “John McCain and other critics say Barack Obama is heavily influenced by people and organizations which seek social justice through redistribution of wealth in America. Do you agree or disagree with efforts to bring social justice by the redistribution of wealth?”
By a more than two-to-one margin, undecided voters disagree with such efforts to redistribute wealth. In total, 57 percent of undecided voters said they disagreed, while only 24 percent said they agreed (19 percent are not sure).
A majority (52 percent) of self-identified Independent voters also disagree with efforts to bring social justice through wealth redistribution. Only 39 percent of Independents agree (10 percent are not sure).
“In his candid conversation with ‘Joe the plumber,’ Obama made clear that his main economic goal is to redistribute wealth, not strengthen and grow our economy,” said O’Leary. “This is pure socialism, albeit thinly veiled, and it does not resonate with hard-working Americans who would rather keep their money than have Obama redistribute it to his favorite constituencies.”
O’Leary also noted that Obama’s tax welfare plan, coupled with his goal of raising barriers to free trade, “makes for a toxic mix that could drive America’s economy into a prolonged depression.”
“Obama isn’t the second coming of JFK,” said O’Leary, “He’s the reincarnation of Herbert Hoover.”

“Obama learns from the Alinsky crowd the method for getting people to support radical change they would ordinarily not be willing to accept. “They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future.” [192] Thus, just as it has been the theme of most Democrat Presidential campaigns over the last 30 years, so is it Obama’s: “Everything is terrible and headed in the wrong direction, your lives are in shambles, greedy capitalism is at fault, and you need to trust a bigger government and my plans to solve all your problems.”
Yeah, the morons still plan to vote for Obama.
Sweet! Looking good for McCain/Palin!!! I hope and pray even more people will see the Obamanation for who he truly is!
You could get full agreement from most 0bama supporters to the following:
So, you believe in wealth redistribution through the government and in the concept “from each according to his ability and to each according to his needs”, but you’re not a socialist or Marxist?
Socialism is based on
Lying
Coveting
& Theft

This is why McCain is hitting on all cylinders now and why he will overtake Hussein.
Americans see taxes as a necessary evil to provide for needed programs.
They reject welfare which is what Hussein’s “tax cuts” actually are. Transfer payments from producers to non-producers.
They also instinctively know that the hikes will not hit only the “rich” but earners at all levels, directly or indirectly.
The tax issue always wins, when it is hammered home.
Zogby is the same one who has McCain losing by 12, though.
Zogby tried this crap in ‘04 too.
Called a Kerry 300+ Electoral vote landslide on November 2nd.
We all fondly recall the Kerry Administration, don’t we?
the discussion on the hannity show a few minutes ago was that this issue was just beginning to show traction in the polls.
Americans hate this idea like the plague.
McCain and Palin need to keep pushing the “Obama the wealth spreader” line everywhere they go. Clearly the American people don’t want it.
Oh I think they will...lol
This stat just stunes my beeber. 43% want or would consider wealth redistribution. I never thought I'd see the day.
