ABC/WaPo Poll: Support for Border Wall Soars Among Swing Voters
Breitbart ^ | 14 Jan 2019 | John Binder

Posted on 01/14/2019 8:00:12 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

President Trump’s proposed wall along the United States-Mexico border has soared in popularity with American voters across the board, as he battles a split GOP-Democrat Congress to secure funding for the barrier. The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll reveals a major shift among nearly all demographic groups across the country when it comes to support for a border wall at the southern border.

This time last year, the poll claimed that only 34 percent of voters supported a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border. Today, support for the wall has climbed to 42 percent overall. Most notable, swing voters are increasingly supportive of the border wall to control immigration.

I won’t bother calling my Congresscritters.All 11 of them are filthy,despicable Maoists who wouldn’t know decency and patriotism if it bit them on the a$$!

Actually you only have three, two senators and one representative -- back to civics class for you.

Now the other 8 may well be worthless toads, but they aren't yours.

“Let’s keep it shutdown until the whole Wall is funded—not just one year.”

Bingo!

...as Americans have been pissed off forty years over this nonsense.

The dims are living in the 1970’s. Back then the border region was pretty safe on both sides. My parents took us kids on a driving trip down to Monterrey and Mexico City. We drove back up the east coast of Mexico and crossed back at Brownsville. No problems.

That scenario has completely changed. Mexico has lost control of their northern states to the drug cartels. These people are every bit as bad as the muslim terrorists, but the DC congress critters warn us about the muslims halfway around the country but completely ignore drug fueled terrorists on our own soil.

Yeah we are pissed. Enough of this foolishness.

Watch “Narcos Mexico” on Netflix it tells the story of the creation of the original cartel in Mexico to organize the shipment and control the price of Marijuana across the border into the US. It starts in 1980. It is fairly historically accurate and does not glorify the narcos.
It shows them as the cut throat killers that they are/were.

The longer the shutdown lasts, the more people will realize the government is a bloated waste.

Folks will move on to other jobs, because they won’t work forever without pay.

And the longer it goes on, and the only story they have is workers not getting paid, but other than that, no real impact coming to peoples lives the worse the D position becomes.

I don’t see a win for the D’s in this... And the longer its shut down the weaker they look...

Especially when the Federal Employees Union starts screaming at them to end it.

"I suspect the actual percent is much more, but this is WaPo/ABC polling after all."

Yes! The same fake news polls that had Clinton winning all the way 2016!

I couldn't help but notice that you're a rocket scientist.Well,FYI...I'm a brain surgeon.So we're in basically the same league,IQ-wise.

With my superior intelligence I understood in 3rd Grade civics class that I only have three.

But remember....there's always the world of pretend. "Yes,sir...I live in that worthless piece of excrement's district",I could say.And with my area code they'd know that I at least live in their state.

I thought being a rocket scientist was all about "imagination"! :-)

What a glorious fun night it was watching the NYT real-time online projection going south for Hillary as the evening progressed, from 90+% odds of winning to “no chance in hades”.

The NY Slimes has to be the biggest liar for the Dark Side/liberal side since the early 1900’s.

Yet their real-time online projection was right on target.

That is similar to Faux live tv Fake News bs, versus their online news outlet where you can avoid their live TV left wing PR.

We stopped watching Faux Live Fake news in January 2017 with their constant lies about him before he was sworn in.

Pelosi and Schumer can take a long walk.
Off a short pier.


Sadly, the pier is located in a posh upscale vacation spot where Dems relax and meditate with big thoughts on how we little people should live our lives under big government programs. Then back to their gated, walled mansions where their armed guards assure them their security is 100%.

Pelosi: “You know, Guido, when Chuck and I ban guns we don’t mean yours or the rest of the security boys. Keep ‘em loaded, guys.”
