Great idea! Put the person with the highest approval rating in charge of the country!! Let's do it ASAP!

What a wonderful plan!!

Michelle Obama's approval rating is 69%. (Some polls say 73% but I thought you'd appreciate the more conservative poll!)

I assume you'll be there to help her move her stuff from the East Wing to the West Wing. Chop. Chop. Get the lead out. She'll be waiting for you on the Truman Balcony.

Firstly that will decline over the next few months, I'll also add the NRA's positive view will increase.

Secondly I could answer yes to that question. That's the problem with poll question, they aren't precise and you could even craft questions to get a result. While someone like myself could answer yes to this question that's where the similarities end compared to someone that is anti gun.

And what voter fraud would that be? Why not just admit the truth...Romney was a horrible candidate with no real message. He flip flopped on everything.

Polls: NRA has higher favorable rating than Obama | WashingtonExaminer.com
This is news...how? Wow a bunch of gun-toting red necks support their organization more than the Democratic President.

Simply amazing.

No. The reason why Obama is still in office is 270 electoral votes that your boy Romney failed to achieve.

Learn the system of voting in the United States since you take advantage of everything else in this country.

You're a poor, pitiful excuse of an American. Be ashamed and go learn how to better yourself.

Do you not understand how polls are conducted? This is a random poll.

The NRA is a beacon of liberty in the modern world. Where else, other than gun rights, has liberty gained ground, and the Leviathan State lost ground? When it comes to economic freedoms, right to privacy, right to free speech, we see them being continually eroded.

About 15 years ago, there was a new fed. reg. proposed called "Know Your Customer," which required banks to report to the feds on customers having "suspicious" banking patterns, such as large cash deposits. There was a public comment period, and comments were overwhelming against such an intrusion, something like 100,000 against, 25 for. Then IIRC, the reg was withdrawn. A few years later, those who wanted it apparently saw an opportunity in the post 9/11 panic, and 'know your customer' was rammed down our throats as a part of the Patriot Act.

At every turn, liberty has contracted, and 'liberalism' has expanded, except for one thing: 2nd Amendment rights. It's almost entirely due to the existence of the NRA.

Sure a random poll conducted in areas of dense red neck, hillbilly populations.

Not that hard to grasp the concept.

The NRA is a good lobby for gun and ammo manufacturers. Recently, they've become less helpful to sportsmen. I cashed in my membership a few months back.
