I DO NOT believe these polls that support Obozo’s tax and immigration positions.

I don’t believe them either. I would like to see the sampling info of folks and also the wording of the question.

Ask “adults” about “tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans” or ask “likely voters” about across the board tax cuts - you get two totally different results.

I do. The depth of ignorance and stupidity of the electorate is astonishing. Look at the occutards. A vast segment of the populace thinks that wealth is distributed not created or earned. The phrase "winners of life's lottery" rings a familiar chord to them.

These people are voteing themselves a chunk of your hard earned wealth. They're too lazy to steal on their own so they vote for the candidate who promises them the biggest share of the plunder after the governemt robs you.

Leftists have been manipulating the language to trick people since the serpent in the garden.

“Wealthy” means different things to different people,
and it also plays to the sin nature of humanity (covetousness).

“Wealthy” really can be practically defined as “someone that I perceive has more than me”.

What 0Bozo is doing is preying on public ignorance. Along with the "Bush tax cuts", which are the current tax rates, you have a 15% bracket for the lowest incomes. When these "tax cuts" expire, that rate goes away. Dividends will be taxed at normal income rates as opposed to 15%. What will that do to investment and the market? Finally don't forget, there's a raft of new 0bamacare taxes about to happen unless SCOTUS strikes down the entire 0bamacare mess (IMHO unlikely). All of the business analysts refer to this as a tax tsunami in January.

Mittens has a hell of a mess to clean up, our only prayer (and it's a slim one) is a conservative congress. Of course, don't forget you'll still have the likes of Pelosi & Rangel and so-called "moderates" like Grahmnesty in senior positions so they'll blunt any efforts to restore the constitution.

Soros' empty suit has done long lasting damage to this country that will echo long after he's gone.

What total crap! I'll believe the poll results, AFTER I am allowed to see the fine print--who did they poll? What questions did they ask?

Liberals like to create "facts" by using dishonest polls.

Ask Obama:

What will you do with the $5 Billion the IRS receives by stopping the Bush tax cuts “for the wealthy”?

Unfortunately, I think most people are selfish and would support SOMEONE ELSE’S taxes being raised. Elections are turning into, what am I going to get out of this guy. Most people are too ignorant to know the important facts that prove that taxing the rich won’t even make a dent in the fiscal problems of this country.

Too late - the “Bush Tax Cuts” already expired.

We also have polls that say repeal Obamacare, close the borders and the top tax rate should be 20%.

Just as with Statistics, Polls are easily manipulated to obtain the results that are desired by those doing the poll. Yes, there exists a portion of the population that feeds at the trough off of those who created “their” feed. However, I DO NOT believe that a majority exists across the entirety of the U.S. voting population which would agree to the positions this feckless Pres__ent (100 rounds of golf, countless vacations, no discernable accomplishments outside of Obozocare and a 5 trillion dollar tab to the taxpayers).

You’re forgetting one of the biggest tax hikes: the marriage penalty comes back into play. This will increase the taxes married people pay by about $1800.

I believe them. I believe the American people are ignorant to how the economy works. Plus you can’t believe all these polls that show Romney doing well and not believe the polls that you don’t agree with. It seems like many do that and it is silly.

The only “poll” that has any meaning, IMO, is the one which takes place in November. Everything else is a distraction of noise. My hope is that the “poll” in November isn’t manipulated by voter fraud. My fear is that it will be.

Well I hope you're right, but never underestimate the power of envy and the ability of 0 and his accomplices to whip up class warfare. Just look at the jackpot awards that juries give to losers who sue corporations for things that are entirely the losers' faults if you want an example of how envy drives the average voter.
