Poll is about halfway down the right-hand side of the main page, just below the videos.

[Hunton Peck]

Republicans ..55% 64123
No difference 27% 32287
Democrats ....18%. 21061
Total votes: ..........117471

[Terry Mross]

The poll should be “Who do you give credit to for shutting down the government?” The conservative republicans would win that one hands down.

[Cyber Liberty]

Oh you know the one who slept with Jane Fonda.

He probably paid more for the pleasure than anybody else on the planet. Big-shot Businessman! Ha!

The ‘See Nothing New’ network is running a “propaganda effectiveness poll” is all. This poll shows the absolute ignorance of those that watch their network. They may as well put the Democrat party symbol on their logo.

[Hunton Peck]

Yeah, and especially web polls. But I figure that as long as some people may take them seriously, it’s worth the few seconds it takes to FReep ‘em. That’s just me, though.

I saw a story not too long ago that it was CNN’s own staff trashing its polls and comments.

Epoxy on both their houses...

That made me laugh a little.

[annie laurie]

I agree.

Which party deserves more blame for the U.S. debt-ceiling standoff?

Perhaps it should be "credit" instead of "blame". I see a freeze in the debt ceiling as a good start.

[eddie willers]

Self-ping so I can find that cartoon again.

In a world where obama's lackeys in the media try to "make up" the news and opinion there is a deciding factor...numbers don't lie, democrats do.

All of the big lies told by dems years ago keep coming to light day after day, and so will the lies about who caused this fiasco we're experiencing.

How can they GOP be the sole blame when they have already submitted at least two plans up for vote, and the johnny-come-lately dems finally limp forward with a Boehner look-alike bill amended to console their pouting boss, barack obama.

I say duck the femocrats, they are doing nothing but demogoguing, it's all they know how to do. If those elite, "educated" mental duds spent as much time on a real solution as they spend trying to cover up their last lie, we'd be done with the budget already.

Obama is the villian, he is the crook, he is the imposter that is hell-bent to bring down America. But America is not a country, it's not the government, it's the PEOPLE...the one last hurdle that even obama can't fight.

It doesn’t change, what a joke, I guess Obanga is a Republican now!

Let’s poll our teenagers:

Which parent is better:

1) Mom who borrowed from your college fund to give you a really cool car and told you to go have fun.

2) Dad who told you to go get a job.

[eyedigress]

If you notice todays words on the matter, Obama did not blame Congress. That asswipe blamed the System!

[jongaltsr]

Principal, principal, principal.
If you have ANY “principal” you are a self serving jerk.

See the Liberal handbook on “Conventional thinking”.

[EDINVA]

It’s CNN so almost not worth the effort, but

Republicans 55% 65255
No difference 27% 32797
Democrats 18% 21510

Total votes: 119562

"If we do not come to an agreement, we could lose our country's AAA credit rating. Not because we do not have the capacity to pay our bills. We do. But because we did not have a AAA political system to match our AAA credit rating. "

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Good one and will probably pay pretty good.

55+28+18=CNN

[newzjunkey]

That it's only 55% against GOP on CNN is almost a victory.

It may, however, reflect the pitifully poor ability of Republicans to articulate their message.
