Rasmussen Reportsâ„¢: The Most Comprehensive Public Opinion Data Anywhere (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/trust_on_issues/trust_on_issues - broken link)

Quote:
Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on six out of 10 key issues, including the top issue of the economy.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% now trust the GOP more to handle economic issues, while 39% trust Democrats more.

This is the first time in over two years of polling that the GOP has held the advantage on this issue.
Uh-huh. Can't wait til he tries to ram UHC and Cap&Trade down our throats.

Considering the damage hussein obama has done in four months it will be interesting to see the polls in another four months. The poor will really suffer from Cap & Trade. I thought those Democrats were the champions of the poor? Boy oh boy, change you can believe in!

Sadly some lessons are learned too late and the hard way. So we tighten our belts and hang on for the change.

If Republicans started acting like Republicans maybe they would be in office today to fix this mess. But something different happened didn't it?

I'd say it all depends on which poll you want to believe, more than anything else.

Budget/Taxes

They'll be subsidized, it will be the middle class paying that bill.

That was in '08, before Government Motors, quadrupling the deficit, and expanding the powers of the Federal Reserve. We'll see in '10 and '12, won't we?

True. Here's one from Gallup.

Obama Rated Highest as Person, Lowest on Deficit, Spending

Quote:
While 67% of Americans view President Barack Obama favorably, his overall job approval rating and his ratings on specific areas are less positive. At the low end of the spectrum, only 45% of Americans approve of Obama’s handling of federal spending, and 46% of his handling of the federal budget deficit. …

Obama’s job approval rating for his handling of the economy has dropped from 59% in February to 55% today, while his disapproval rating has risen by 12 points, from 30% to 42%. The fact that Obama’s approval on the economy has become more negative over this time period is of interest, given that Gallup’s measure of consumer mood has become more positive between March and the current time. …
He's a likable guy, but he is sucking hind-t*t when it comes to the budget and spending.

If Gallup is admitting this, it must be even worse than we think. Finger on the scale and all that.
