Parsing Sotomayor's Declining Poll Numbers

The recent Rasmussen poll that found a significant deterioration in the level of support for Supreme Court nominee Sonya Sotomayor warrants a tad more scrutiny.

In a poll conducted May 26–27 Rasmussen found that likely voters wanted to confirm Sotomayor by the margin of 45% to 29%. This was an underwhelming margin, to be sure, given all the laudatory media coverage, and may have been an early warning sign that Sotomayor could be vulnerable.

A month later that 16-point advantage has disappeared. Rasmussen’s June 29–30 survey found that support for her confirmation has fallen 8 points, to 37%, while opposition has risen 10 points to 39%.

Just like Hussein, the more folks learn about Sotomayor;
the less they like her...

We don't need a Racist on the Court!

Voters should be skeptical of anything proposed by this FAILED administration.

Speaking of Sotomayor, on a related note...

Did Dems fire 200 white people in New York?

I don’t think it’s trickling out at the pace we would like it to. Michael Jackson and Sarah Palin knocked her off the airwaves. I care about her nomination, but I’m loving how Palin’s resignation has had exactly the opposite effect of what I’d anticipated and am so riveted, that it’s all I can do to read anything not related to Palin - not hard to do on this site, Palin Republic, these days.

Anything this Administration wants to do, they have to do very quickly, before people have time to slowly explain to the masses of idiots why the idea sucks.

Eventually, the dim little fridge bulb flickers on over their heads and they realize that they just might be getting screwed.

No racists of any color in any position of power in the US. Liberals chose the wrong post-segregation ideology of equality in hate and discrimination with the KKK.
