Voters Trust the Republicans More

Despite an all out campaign by the Obama administration and Congressional Democrats to convince voters that ‘D’ is for ‘drive’ and ‘R’ is for reverse, voters none-the-less now trust the Pachyderms more than the Jackasses on all 10 top issues, according to a new Rasmussen poll.

Issue	Democrats	Republicans
Education	40%	41%
Health Care	40%	48%
Iraq	40%	43%
Economy	39%	47%
Social Security	38%	44%
Government Ethics	38%	40%
National Security	37%	49%
Afghanistan	36%	43%
Taxes	36%	52%
Immigration	35%	44%

The most interesting part of this poll is the results for the issue of ‘government ethics’.  Democrats won in large measure by painting Republicans as hopelessly corrupt.  Obama ran on the promise to “clean up Washington” and Speaker Pelosi pledged that her Congress would be “the most ethical Congress in history.”  Even though Rassmussen reports that “more than one-in-five voters (22%) are still not sure which party to trust more on ethics issues”, the Republicans are edging out the Dems on that issue.

The Democrats are in real trouble.  The voters have realized that they have been sold a ‘lemon’, and no amount of salesmanship is likely to alleviate their ‘buyers remorse’.

America Declared its Independence from _______.

From which country did the United States win its independence?  One in four Americans don’t know that the correct answer is Great Britain, and one in five Americans don’t have any clue at all.  This is according to a new poll conducted by Marist Poll.

According to the poll, those least likely to correctly respond to the question were women, non-whites, and those under thirty years of age.  See the breakdown here.

It is interesting to note that these demographics are very similar to the demographics of the typical Obama supporter. 

Like Forrest Gump said; “Stupid is as stupid does.”
