Well when co-conspirators take your polls what do you expect the results to be?

> 35 percent of self-identified Republicans back the proposal. The most opposition to the plan comes from those who identify as “conservative Republican.” Among this group, only 29 percent support the supplemental package while 66 percent oppose it.

Whatever numbers tat the polls say approve it you know they are far less or skewed by takin poll numbers from a select democrat that you know will support whatever agenda you want to promote

Yep. Two thirds of the American sheeple would agree with the following statement:

Congress is composed mainly of crooks and grifters who deserve to be voter out of office en mass. However, my own congress critter and U.S. Senators are exceptions.

So, you support and trust the Congressional GOP on border issues?

You would have answered “yes” to the poll question?

What’s wrong with you?

Yeah. $400M to deal with the border crisis; 3.3B stuffed into politician’s back pockets. I will lay $$$!that later it will be found out that 0 used a complex network of shell entities to divert tax $$$$$$$ into his own coffers and stole from the taxpayer’s.

Right. I don’t support the way the GOP is handling this issue either.

If the Low Information Voter understood that the vast majority of the $3.7 billion was to protect, feed, educate and provide lawyers for the illegal immigrants and only a very, very small portion to protect the border, the results would be different.

No one wants to talk about exactly where the money is going. Guess where? Lawyers and immigration advocates who are friends of the White House and open borders.

No one would argue that these people should be treated humanely as they are expeditiously returned home. That would leave about $3.5 billion to secure the border. Now, that would work!

This article’s peckerwood author pre-supposes that the WashPost/ABC is good authority. Most Americans are the people you can’t fool all of the time.

My solution should be tried — send both the illegals and the leftists together to central America. Problems solved. The leftists will create a utopian paradise from which nobody would want to flee. And they will no longer have to be concerned about global warming since without all their hot air impacting on the active weather patterns, things will quickly return to normal.

“It looks like the GOP is in a terrible position from these topline results.”

The author does eventually make a point, just not very clearly. The president’s position is generally unpopular with the majority, but it is the less worse position.

Obama’s ratings are better than Congressional Republicans because his support is partisan. The GOPe are not supported by Democrats or conservative Republicans. The takeaway lesson should be for Republicans to move right and earn the support of conservatives since they will never please the left-wing voters as well as their die-hard socialist counterparts.

But the media meme will be to support Obama. He has the less worse solution. (Supposedly.)

With exceptions conspicuous by their rarity, I trust NO ONE in Washington on border issues or anything else.

It’s what we get for allowing the 47% welfare dorks vote.

Where exactly do the people from this poll suggest we get the 3.7 BILLION dollars? Our Government is broke, we as a Nation are broke. 17-18 TRILLION dollars broke.
What exactly do the people in this pole expect 3.7 BILLION dollars will accomplish? Will it get these invader sent back to where they came from? Will it somehow stop the next wave of 50 75 100 thousand invaders from coming here?
Some people better wise up. Before it is too late if it is not already..........

Pollsters lie and create false facts and the regime in power lies like a rug. What’s new.

Congress is usually more unpopular than a president. When the poll just asks about congress. Now, if they ask about a local congressman, that changes.
