WSJ/NBC Poll: Democrats Better to Get Country Out of Recession
WSJ blogs ^
Posted on 03/03/2009 3:54:08 PM PST by Tempest
By more than a two-to-one margin, Americans believe the Democratic Party is better suited to getting the country out of a recession over the Republican Party, according to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll to be released today. Almost half of all respondents, 48%, identified the Democratic Party, while just one in five, or 20%, said the Republican Party. Some 8% said both parties were equally qualified, while 16% said neither party was qualified. Comparatively, in December 1990 when the U.S. economy was also going through a recession, the Democratic and Republican parties tied at 33% when asked who was best to lead through a recession. For more details on the latest WSJ/NBC News poll, check back at Washington Wire at 5:00 p.m. EST. The full poll results will be available at 6:30 p.m. EST.

Why are people so stupid? Oh, wait, I forgot—liberal schools.

That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s inaccurate.
To: Tempest
It doesn't matter if it's good or not. The reality is that Democrats are in charge. I'm not sure what the reason for this poll is other than to try and reaffirm public opinion.

These people are too stupid to vote.
We need to institute a test for voting just like driver’s licenses.

How un-freaking-believably ignorant.
Have these people never taken an economics course before?
They think Congress spending trillions of dollars is the answer?

This is one of those kinds of polls which purports to measure something, but in reality merely measures party ID. It’s still disturbing, though.

ObamaCarter is destroying the economy. Sooner or later people will realize this. Right now, it is all hopenandchange lib media spin. The Republican party has no choice but to fight for what is right, in this case against Obama’s stimulus spending sprees and tax hikes. The polls will come around.

The Republican Party spent the last 8 years telling the world that government should be responsible while behind everyone's back they spent taxpayers like it was going out of style. While this was going on President Bush was telling the world that we needed socialism to save capitalism.
Is anyone really surprised the Republican party has no creditability left?

The other thing to ask is: what is the GOP's plan? I mean, there has not been an effective GOP alternative proposed ("like 'cut taxes and regulation'") that the average person would be aware of, so it makes some sense that they would respond in this way.
