Pure propoganda. You know, looking at the internals of this poll, I'm beginning to wonder if SeeBS isn't in the tank for Obama . . . can that be true?

Total Republicans 214 193 (24%) Total Democrats 272 282 (35%) Total Independents 324 335 (41%)

Maybe the “Bradley effect” is at work here too—people telling the pollster they approve of Obama when they don’t because they don’t want the pollster to think they are racist.

Who did they poll, blue states welfare recips?

[RoadTest]

Consider the source.

[tennmountainman]

I wonder what this 71% will say when this country defaults, in the coming decade. This country will default, it’s now just a matter of when.

The current DC bunch are not capable of making serious cuts. Without serious cuts, default is an ABSOLUTE!

but Republicans in Congress fare the worst, with just 21 percent backing their resistance to raising taxes.

OK. Like last November was about electing tax-raising rats.
Ha ha, next.

The funny thing is (not so much really) is I heard McCain (on Hannity) jumping up and down about those numbers trying to shore um the RINO solution....the one that gives the keys to Odumbo....

Pitiful....really pitiful.

U.S. Debt Ceiling Increase Remains Unpopular With Americans

More are concerned about higher level of spending than risk of economic crisis

by Lydia Saad

PRINCETON, NJ — Despite agreement among leaders of both sides of the political aisle in Washington that raising the U.S. debt ceiling is necessary, more Americans want their member of Congress to vote against such a bill than for it, 42% vs. 22%, while one-third are unsure. This 20-percentage-point edge in opposition to raising the debt ceiling in Gallup’s July 7-10 poll is slightly less than the 28-point lead (47% vs. 19%) seen in May.

They probably polled the GOP haters at FR.

These fascist democrats are really, really, worried or they wouldn't be pumping this crap out by the gallon rather than just focusing on the fearless leader and what a great way he has with people. They don't care a bit what public opinion is until they're behind the eight ball at which time they try to get peer pressure working to keep people from writing their House and Senators and Representatives in the House because it's already a lost cause. They're good at it, too. Nine times out of ten they get a significant number of people to give up before the battle is half over.

If they were really ahead in the honest polls, they'd already be talking about how well Barry has done.

Survey this:
Does it bother you that the democrats have not offered up a budget in over 800 days, thus breaking the law?
Does it bother you that the POTUS and democrats want to be declared ‘winners’ in the game without even suiting up or showing any sign of intending to play the game?
Republicans are to just forfeit the ‘football’ game because the other team wants the win? This is a lot more important than a football game - the future of this country is at stake. (At least financially speaking.)

Good analysis of all the flaws with this poll (massive oversampling of Democrats, etc.):

There’s no more money.

But plenty of idle men.

Let’s roll.

[freekitty]

A lot of bs as usual.

[Cheetahcat]

CBS? Only Kooks,Pedophiles,and Communists watch that crapola!

[Mariner]

Folks need to look at the entire poll posted at the link

It's a D I S G R A C E to the Party that our past Presidential standard bearer (McCain on Hannity) would cite this CRAP as a reason to adopt the McConnell plan.

24% of those polled identified themselves as Republicans and 40% as independents.

Only 810 polled all together and they didn't even bother to find out if they were US Citizens, much less registered or likely voters.

Besides, HALF of the Republican voters are p!ssed at the way the DC GOP is handling this...because THEY ARE CAVING!
