If you say so, I have no problem disagreeing with Obama or any other politician. Unlike some, I do not expect miracles from them, any of them. I only expect them to work in the best interests of the Nation and I do not have high expectations from any of them, helps when they disappoint us, as they always do.

Whether or not a contry is in a recession is not a matter of opinion, but a matter of fact, but that does not seem to bother anyone.
i think this poll asks how do you personally feel, where as the one from 2010 actually asked if they believed we were still in a reccesion

Soliciting the opinion of non-registered voters is the same as soliciting the opinions from dogs. No one can hear them.

And of COURSE it is the repubs fault

Just out of curiosity, how many bills has the current Congress passed compared to when the dems and harry reid controlled the Senate half of Congress?


The 112th Congress, as of July 2013, over the previous 2 years, was the LEAST PRODUCTIVE Congress in history.

Your memory CAN'T be THAT short.

I never said it was all the Repubs fault, nice swing and a miss. I asked when were they going to get a Budget passed, it should have been their Highest Priority instead we get a bunch of fluff and Secret "Trade" Agreements. As I said, they better get something done before 2016, that will have been 2 Years, plenty of time to get some actual work done or do not expect much support for another 2 years.

Barack Obama isnt running for election again and regardless of if you vote or not, the Presidents actions as well as Congress with still affect you.

So only polling registered voters makes no sense unless you are specifically looking to find out who is going to win the next election, which they obviously arent.

But none of that has to do with my post, opinion polls are stupid if you add no context and that is the problem here.

Depends on the context. If it is biased to the extreme (like some we could mention) it is worthless.

"I asked when were they going to get a Budget passed," that is NOT the post I responded to.
