New NYT Poll: Americans Reject the GOP on all Major Issues

[Tsing Tao]

Quote from hermit:

With the economy still recovering slowly from the worst crisis in a generation, the 2010 midterm elections will be a struggle for the party in power. Yet, contrary to what many on the right claim, Americans' dissatisfaction with Democrats does not translate into support for Republicans. In fact, Americans view the Republican Party even more negatively than they view Democrats.

According to a new CBS News/New York Times poll, the public has very little faith in Republican leaders.
Republicans In Congress Suffer From Lower Approval Ratings

Only 20% of respondents approve of the way Republicans in Congress are handling their job, with more than two-thirds expressing disapproval.

Fewer Than 1 in 5 Believe Republicans Have A "Clear Plan For Solving The Nation's Problems"

Seventy-two percent of Americans don't believe Republicans in Congress have a "clear plan for solving the nation's problems," compared to 18% who do.

Americans Believe The Democratic Party Has "Better Ideas" Than Republicans

By 40% to 33%, Americans believe the Democratic Party has "better ideas for solving the nation's problems right now."

Americans Believe Democrats, Not Republicans, Are "More Likely To Create New Jobs"

Despite their constant "where are the jobs?" refrain; Americans do not believe Republicans are likely to create new jobs.

Two-Thirds Of Americans Don't Trust The GOP To Help The Middle Class

Only 33% of Americans believe the Republican Party will do more to help the middle class, compared to 55% who believe the Democrats will.

Americans Believe President Obama Is Doing More That Republicans To Improve The Nation's Economy

Asked who was "doing more to improve the nation's economy," 48% of Americans answered President Obama is, compared to just 28% who believe Republicans in Congress are.

so based on the results of 100 hand picked respondents from CBS and the slime (both balanced sources, i'm sure) with no info whatsoever of the geographical locale of said respondents, no margin of error or scientific basis declaration, you make the leap that

"americans reject the GOP"

you are one of the dumbest people ever to slip onto this forum that i have seen.

According to a new CBS News/New York Times poll,

Asking NYT to do a poll like this is like asking a group of 70 year old Southern Baptist white country farmers in South Carolina what they think about Obama...

Hermit= punk'd LOL!!

Quote from Pop Sickle:

The poll sample is:

Republican: 25%
Democrat: 35%
Independent: 33%
DK/ NA: 7%

The NYT/ CBS poll samples are usually skewed heavily toward Democrats.

This type of polling data is not very useful. You have to look at each race on a case-by-case basis.

Check out the following website for each race in every state and the composites for Senate, House and Governors.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/?state=noad

At the top of the page, click on "Election 2010." You can see what's going on inside each state and each election by clicking on each section and digging deeper into each race until you find all the polls for each candidate.

Right now, the composite polls for the November elections show the Democrats holding onto a 52-48 lead in the Senate (no toss-ups); the Republicans gaining a 10-15 seat advantage in the House (splitting the toss-ups); and Republican Governors gaining a 31-19 lead (no toss-ups) over Democrats.

This website updates the polls frequently and you can see significant changes as they occur.

i do spew insults often - 95% at you. you're deserving of them. you're a complete asshat who trolls here for responses. you're a cut and paste weenie who doesn't check his own sources half the time or understand what it is you're even talking about. quite simply put, you're the S2007S of the politics forum.

other lefties on this site - gabfly, ricter, etc., post lucid, well-thought out arguments. i dont agree with them often, but they at least take the time to understand the issues in which they're talking about.

you're a chump. putting you on ignore would be the option (and 50% of the posts on this forum would vanish) if it weren't so amusing reading the hilariously pathetic articles you try to push.

hows that? Sum it up for you pretty well?

If I am a troll then ignore me, as for your whole respect for gabfly and others, I have actually seen you call them pretty nasty things, so save your hypocritical BS for someone else.

And you have no problem with right wingers here who quote opinion editorials from right wing blogs but polls from the New York times is such a wrong thing to post in P&R.
