Summation: This poll, cited extensively by the left and the right on cable news, finds things that are a poison pill for both sides:

1.) Most think that neither Obama nor the GOP will reach across the aisle to each other no matter what the other does or doesn't do.

2.) 48% are opposed to Obama's executive action for illegal aliens (with only 28% supporting this).

3.) 80% + are still anti-bankster.

4.) 65% want a minimum wage increase.

5.) 75% want more spending on infrastructure.

6.) 56% want Congress, not Obama, to take the lead in setting policy for the country.

7.) Barely over 40% want a.) lower corporate tax rates by eliminating many deductions and b.) want to cut funding for the health-care law ... etcetera, etcetera.

The next two years are going to be quite interesting to say the least.

Never trust a media commissioned poll on any issue. They are all push polls.

No they don’t.

Americans want nothing to do with the Democrats at this point.

No compromise. When those idiots call with their “reaching across the aisle” utter garbage, I straighten them out right quick.

Let me clarify some of the points made in the poll.

4.) 65% want a minimum wage increase..........until it comes out of their pocket

5.) 75% want more spending on infrastructure..........until it comes out of their pocket

Another poll finds that everyone wants Palestinians and Jews to work together as well.

Problem is, One of those parties wants the other dead.

So... Democrats working with Republicans?... aint gonna happen. Democrats want republicans to agree with them or else.

Americans are stupid. They simply want the two wings of the single political party to work together so the public isn’t annoyed with the noise of infighting. All these squabbles get in the way of keeping up with the Kardashians, or binge watching a tv program.

The public would be happy with almost anything, as long as they weren’t annoyed with the details.

The elections showed the VOTERS want REPUBLICANS IN CHARGE. Polls for the past YEAR show those polled DON’T LIKE OBAMA.

Polls also show people DON’T LIKE OBAMACARE.

So shove it with your “work together” crap, Wall Street Journal.

quote “48% are opposed to Obama’s executive action for illegal aliens (with only 28% supporting this).”

hm... only 28% support it...

and we know that 13 of the 28 is the support of racist blacks!

which means... only 15% of people who aren’t racist blacks support this move!!!

WSJ wants cooperation between the parties now that amnesty is on the table.

But they'll be howling for a fight when this administration proposes another increase in corporate tax rates.

Hypocrites.

6.) 56% want Congress, not Obama, to take the lead in setting policy for the country.

How much of that 56% is for setting leadership direction, and how much of that 56% was just referring to Atomic number 82 (otherwise known as the element Pb).

Some 63% of Americans want candidates elected to office this year to bend enough to broker deals

Trying to strike deals with democrats is akin to striking them with muslims. They will lie to you, deal in bad faith, and stab you in the back when it's all said and done. A democrat can NOT be trusted any more than any other criminal.

Ok, NBC.

So the American public voted to elected a record number of GOP to vote like Democrats?

Try to Gruber a better poll in the future.

As usual, the problem with polls is the way the questions are asked. Of course most people want the parties to work together - as long it is “the other” guy working with “my” guy. Most people think their party has the right policy, and they want the other party to support that policy. That is their definition of “working together”. But the media’s definition of Congress working together is always for the GOP to come over to the Dem position, so that is how they interpret a poll result like this.

To the media, it is only bipartisanship when the GOP agrees with the Dems. When the GOP position prevails, it is partisan, even when they get Dems to join them.

Polls can be played with. What matters is voting.

Total BS!

That's why we held the last election, to show congress and Obama we disapprove of everything they've done to us!

It was not "get together and do more!
