Skewed poll or do I just give up on the intellegence of the US and their ability to keep the US from self distructing?

"The good news for Democrats: By a slim margin (47% to 42%), people trust them more than Republicans to guide the economy. And slightly more — now 64% — say their household budgets are in good shape."

Of course -- this is from the west coast department of the Democrat Party's Ministry of "Truth", the LA Times. When are these "news" papers going to realize that nobody believes anything they say when they publish political propaganda (lies) like this in order to save the Democrat Party. LA TIMES -- just hurry up and die and go away. Thinking people have no respect for anything you say.

Perhaps a bit of reality will enlighten the LAT writer? The following poll (link below) if from NPR and closely mirrors the findings of both the Gallup and Rasmussen polls which taken using input from LIKELY VOTERS instead of national adults (The very least accurate method of polling.

They have a history of crappy polling, like this gem before the election:

"Are they right? There's reason for skepticism. As Ambinder and Subday noted, 44% of those in the poll's voter sample were self-identified evangelical Christians, who tend to be conservative Republicans. In the last presidential race, evangelicals constituted 23% of voters -- about half the number used in the AP poll.

It's possible, I suppose, that evangelical turnout will be higher this year, but a jump from 23% to 44%? It's very unlikely. In fact, it's practically impossible, and rather foolish to assume as part of the basis for a national campaign poll.

Anyone getting too excited (or too depressed) based on this AP poll is probably making a mistake."

ABOUT THAT AP POLL

"Poll: People want Democrats to retain control of Congress"

Right. The LA Times. They probably polled ACORN and SEIU. Setup.

Let’s ask the question differently and skew the sample towards the Democrats to try to help them.

64% of budgets are ok with 10% unemployment, 17% underemployment. A stock market that is the same as it was 6 months ago, a national debt going up 160 billion a month.
