While positive ratings for Congress remain at an all-time low, more voters than ever see the Republican agenda in Congress as extreme.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 35% of Likely Voters say it would be more accurate to describe the agenda of Republicans in Congress as mainstream, while 52% feel extreme is a more accurate description. Thirteen percent (13%) are not sure.

If accurate, this poll shows that Obama has a non-trivial chance of being re-elected.

Definitions are important in the search for truth.

“Extreme” pretty much describes a rainbow of possibilities.

Behold the power of the MSM. It may be dying, but it’s power is undeniable.

Obama is a shoe in.

BS

80% of Americans could not, if you asked them, name the Chief Justice of the United States. How else could Hussein have been elected president if the electorate were not ignorant or rascist (as in the case of OJ Simpson when 98% of Blacks believed he was innocent...btw is he still looking for the killer of Nicole as he swore he’d do?)

If accurate, this proves the leftist indoctrination within our public schools is a complete success. These same people would find our founding fathers to be radical extremists. Sad.

Pray for America.

What are the internals? How many Dems were included? The word ‘extreme’ was used against all Republicans in the 2010 elections. The public is just answering the way the Dems/Big Media have instructed them. Lord, please help your wonderful experiment of a free society called America!

IMHO, it feeds off the laziness of the people. They can't be bothered to search for the truth. They'd rather be told how to think & feeeeeeeeel by Brian Williams et al.

Rasmussen poll likely taken in NY and SF and to those people if you’re not a liberal socialist democrat, you’re extreme. Propaganda poll.

If this poll is accurate it only shows the stupidity of the average American voter.It also shows how much work we Conservatives are going to have to do to educate these people in the principals of Conservatism.

I just hope these polls are just trying to scare the conservative base of the Republican Party into voting for a RINO.

We have earned a total financial implosion. This nation is going to collapse soon and we have no one to blame but ourselves.

Powerful yes. All powerful no.

And the power the MSM has is on the decline thanks to FR, Breitbart and others who are becoming an increasingly powerful force in American politics.

We destroyed the Global Warming scam and we can ruin the Bill Ayers initiative that put the Marxist Barak Obama in the White House as well. It just takes enough votes in November. We can get those votes if we just continue to neutralize the lies told daily by the MSM. That's Job One here at FR.

The sad part is that I’ll bet less than 10% of that 52% can articulate any part of that agenda!

Forget “extreme”,
I’d like to know what the “GOP Agenda” is.
