[fraga]

Not sure how accurate this poll is...

Sometimes I think that politicians underestimate the American electorate at their own peril.

Then I remember how many votes Sarah Palin got.

[spursncowboys]

Obama has not helped prove that his voters were more intelligent. But Obama did come from the ivy league.

[ChumpDumper]

Bush has not helped prove that his voters were more intelligent. But Bush did come from the ivy league.

The poll is bull . Most Americans don't give a who ed up America's economy, they just want it fixed. People hate how they are struggling to make ends meet, they just want a better economy.

Most of the states polled are blue states.

"they just want a better economy."

And millions of them are still stupid enough to think they're going to get a better economy from Repug policies, which is "cut taxes cut taxes cut taxes cut taxes cut taxes, period" even after dubya's massive tax cutting did nothing for jobs.

this is news?

this is news?

For the cheerleaders...

[boutons_deux]

We know polling RED STATES would get ignorant, misinformed responses from Fox Repug Propapanda viewers and BecKKK, Limbaugh listeners.

Well, that is question #25 of the poll. What I found of interest was the trend. It goes down for Bush and goes up for Obama.

25. Who do you blame more for the current condition of the U.S. economy - 
    Former President George W. Bush or President Barack Obama?

The information starts at question #6. I wonder if the missing information set up a scenario. I also wonder how many of each party is polled, and why they are separated as Liberal, Moderate, or conservative.
