A -7 demonstrates that yesterday’s -8 was not a fluke or one-day outlier.
When you consider that 10% of Americans think that Sarah Palin murdered Michael Jackson, the 30% number is not all that surprising.
Yikes! What’s the origin of that 10% info?
Here would be an example:
How do you believe Michael Jackson died?
a) He died of natural causes
b) He committed suicide
c) He's not really dead. He's living in the basement at Graceland with Elvis.
d) Sarah Palin had something to do with it.
These polls demonstrate how utterly irrelevant the State Run Media has become. Americans understand and dislike socialism, even when not ‘reported’.
the other 10% believe that Sarah was the “other woman” in the Steve McNair/Dave-n-Busters Bimbo triangle
The origin?
86% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
This is significant, because the 'meme' has always been that Republicans are better on foreign issues, while Democrats are better on domestic issues. (It's not true, it's just a commonly held belief.) It's why Clinton used, "It's the economy, stupid." to such great effect. It is why when McCain was winning, the economy tanked, allowing Obama to win.
If voters see Democrats as POOR on domestic issues like the economy, then they GOT NUTHIN'.
51% approve
48% disapprove
Lowest number yet. Falling below his election numbers now.
