But Republicans get their lowest grades since Obama was elected on several measures:
* Voters disapprove 64 - 25 percent of the way Republicans in Congress are doing their job, with 42 percent of Republican voters disapproving; * Only 29 percent think Republicans on Capitol Hill are acting in good faith; * Voters trust Obama more than Republicans 47 - 31 percent to handle health care; * Voters 53 - 25 percent have an unfavorable opinion of the Republican Party.

No one will give us our country back...we must take it.
BS poll...
Its cook the polls time.
Who the hell did they poll, the newsroom at PMSNBC?
Must have, what a bunch of BS
Another fake poll
These numbers are made up.
Most polls ONLY represent what Americans read and hear in the MEDIA....not what the TRUTH is....looks like the Propaganda is being heard.
This is the same poll that says the public opposes Obama’s plan by 47-40. That at least deserves a mention.
If this poll is accurate, we are doomed as a nation and as individuals.
I agree, if a majority loves Obama and loves the public option why has’nt Nancy had a floor vote yet..I thought so.
2010, I hope for a democRAT bloodbath. I think it will be.
This is a fricking push poll. Full of lies.
Stunned. How can so many be so STUPID?
very hard to believe.
Not me. I think I will just go French. That is I surrender and do enough minimal collaboration with the enemy to get by.
I will do my part by going Galt and retire though.
Polls are tricky
for instance from SAME poll
‘http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x1295.xml?ReleaseID=1382
American voters oppose 47 - 40 percent President Barack Obama’s health care reform plan, and don’t want an overhaul that only gets Democratic votes, but they support key parts of the plan, including 61 - 34 percent for giving people the option of a government health insurance plan that competes with private plans, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.”
People need to look at how the questions were phrased.
Worthless numbers, unless we see who was sampled, and their political bent; which I couldn’t find. I have a poll right here in front of me from the American Renaissance Center that states that 100% of voters polled are AGAINST the government meddling in the Health Insurance Industry. Very telling numbers if you ask me, and just as valid as Quinnipiac.
Got that right, they polled the AFL-CIO I guess.
How long did Quinnipiac have to waterboard the raw data to get it to confess those final results?
Every poll starts with an assumed weighting of Republicans/Democrats/Independents because the party members' response rate to polls are not the same, thus a purely random selection won't work (Imagine trying to count kittens by sampling, but the gray kittens always hid under the furniture). I did not see the assumed party ratios in the full report.
