NEWSWEEK Poll: Anger Unlikely to Be Deciding Factor in Midterms (RATS are more ticked off?)

Newsweek ^ | 10/01/10

[Paladin2]

Change is a big seller this year.

Let the 'rats vote for the RINOs (e.g. Murkycowpi, Crist, Castle) and the rest of us elect some representatives.

What is this “Newsweek” thing of which you speak? It is unheard of in our land. Whence doest thou hail, stranger?

[Dem Guard]

Progressives is hardly a term I would support for the Dems. Perhaps Suppressives would make more sense.

Newsweek: the best “journalistic” enterprise you can get for a buck.

Just sold to Harmon-Kardon, the stereo makers. HA HA!

This story is and exmple of why Newsweek was sold for $1.00. They can’t figure out what is happening when a story bites them.

[Carley]

This is the publication sold at the dollar store. Why would they have anything relevant to say?

Woodrow Wilson and FDR x 10.

I’m a right winger and I’m bloody miserable.

OTOH

The GOP has consistently been trusted on most issues for months now, but in July they held the lead on only nine of the key issues.

Republicans lead Democrats 47% to 39% on the economy, which remains the most important issue to voters. Those numbers are nearly identical to those found in June. Republicans have held the advantage on the economy since May of last year.

But for the first time in months, Republicans now hold a slight edge on the issues of government ethics and corruption, 40% to 38%. Voters have been mostly undecided for the past several months on which party to trust more on this issue, but Democrats have held small leads since February. Still, more than one-in-five voters (22%) are still not sure which party to trust more on ethics issues.

Government ethics and corruption have been second only to the economy in terms of importance to voters over the past year.

[...]

Republicans hold a 52% to 36% lead over Democrats on the issue of taxes. It’s the only issue this month on which the GOP earns the trust of the majority of voters. In June, more than 50% of voters nationwide trusted Republicans more on the issues of national security, taxes and health care.

Sample was only “National Adults” with no demographic breakdown as to Party affiliation or even geography. It’s about as useless and uninformative a poll as can be imaginable.

[9YearLurker]

Here’s the recipe for the special sauce they hide behind:

“Data are weighted so that sample demographics match Census Current Population Survey parameters for gender, age, education, race, region, and population density. In addition, data are weighted to correct for different probabilities of selection associated with the number of adults in each respondent’s household and their telephone usage patterns.”

You know it’s gotta be spicy for them to come up with likely voters favoring the Democrat over the Republican within their congressional district by 50 to 42!

Anger is not a deciding factor but it sure as hell is going to be a motivating factor in Nov.
