And the one I look at, which takes an average of all polls:

This is how rational people look at polls. Wingnut Republicans look at Rasmussen and nothing else.

Who came into office with a surplus?

But then Bush signed those military pay raises that passed and were waiting on Clinton's desk and WHOOSH... there went the supposed "surplus".

All that he has done so far has turned out to be wrong.

Funny how conservatives beg for liberals to counter a nonsense thread and a biased poll but when confronted with REAL numbers they vanish..Just shady.

61% it is

Look, I really could care less. I just want my business to thrive and people to get back to work so they can start spending some of it. Thank God we had an excellent week. We needed it

If he does what his plan is to tax small businesses you had might as well close down because he wants a huge cut of your money.

Then he wants to raise min. wage again for lazy bums to stand around and do nothing.

Surplus that was wiped out c/o 9-11 and Katrina. Bush was able to handle all that and handle many other disasters and still had a thriving economy until Nancy and Harry took over congress.

Bush did one hell of a job despite Clintons failure to protect us from the warning signs and the financial market going down the tube after 9-11.

He deserves some awesome credit for rebounding so quickly.

Anyway, what do you call this massive Obama spending?

So will Obama have surplus anytime soon? He sounded like he could have a surplus almost right away and hired all those smart business people and tax evaders to make America work, guess that is not going to well is it?

As of right now your boy Obama has piled up more debt in 4 months then Bush did in the last 4 years. What do you think of that?

By the way, if things keep going Obamas numbers will continue to fall like a rock because not many people now trust him like they did. Most know they were dupped by the village idiot and can see what he is doing.

Also, most President start out with high numbers and if they do well they go up, if they do not see start to see the drop like we are with Obama.

The sky is falling under Obama and people do see it is all his fault.

Record spending and debt and nothing to show for it.

Unemployment going backwards when he said he could create all these fancy green jobs? So far he is in the hole bigtime.

Disasterous start for him for sure.

Well how's this for your biased poll?

Rasmussen Reports™: The Most Comprehensive Public Opinion Data Anywhere


62% think the stimulus is a joke! Put that in your Obama kool aid and drink it!

Notice how you can find a poll with results to fit your opinion ?

That should tell you how "accurate" polls are of the American population.
