An interesting aside is that the "political class" the political elite, think that the dem agenda is mainstream...can anyone say "out of touch"?

The country is going to Hell. What we need is an old fashioned Republican like Newt Gingrich. Family. Values. Religion.

(Excerpt) Newt proposed to Marianne (she was 28, he 36) in 1980 while his first wife, Jackie, was in the hospital recovering from treatments for uterine cancer. He hadn't yet even asked her for a divorce......When he left, Jackie was nearly destitute. Jackie, the Esquire story reports, "had to get a court order just to pay her utility bills."

Callista Bisek, Gingrich's current wife, became his mistress first and his wife second (really third, if one is counting wives), while Marianne was home visiting her mother. In 1999, Marianne had just been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Newt asked Callista to marry him before he and Marianne had agreed to divorce......

Even so Gingrich continued to give speeches about family. "How do you give that speech and do what you are doing?" Marianne asked him. They were in the death throes of their relationship. "It doesn't matter what I do," he told her, according to the Esquire story. "People need to hear what I have to say. There's no one else who can say what I say. It doesn't matter what I live."

Gingrich says his conversion to Catholicism was for Bisek.

I'm not disputing that the Dems are doing badly. I'm simply pointing out that the Republicans ain't doing so hot either.

35 of the 100 respondents considered themselves to be conservative or very conservative, the rest are moderate, liberal or very liberal. That kind of makes even more of an indictment against Obama and the dems.

Interesting, but I think Rasmussen comes closer to voter results as he uses only likely voters.

BTW your graph was not there...too embarrassed to post where it was from???

Does this mean that we're going to catch it (hell) on the back end?

I figured you wanted a link to the actual poll that the graph was based on, not the graph. And just admit that you like Rasmussen because his results are favorable to Republicans. It's okay to admit it.

LOL a link to Ezra Klein!!! I love the way he took poll data from 100 cell phone respondents of which only 35 were conservative and spun it to be pro Obama and pro democrat! :lol:

You aren't a very good reader. The poll was a Wall Street Journal/NBC poll of 1,000 adults, 200 of which were reached by cell phone.

And I find it interesting that you take issue with the ideological breakdown of the poll yet you accept Rasmussen's results even though he doesn't tell any demographic information whatsover.

And Ezra Klein is irrelevant. The poll results are what they are.

My bad on the number, but the proportions remain the same.

Rasmussen does disclose demographics, and like I said he also called the democrat wins in 06 and 08. His success in accuracy is due to the fact that he uses only likely voters as opposed to just random populations which can have merit based on mood, but not poll results.

Ezra Klein's "spin" is relevent because he, like you, did not consider the sampling.

No problem.

Rasmussen doesn't disclose his demographics, who he determines is a likely voter or how that determination is made. All we know is that he changes his likely voter model over time as an election nears which ends up getting good results, but this far out from an election his results typically favor Republicans due to his likely voter model (what we know of it anyway).

On Ezra Klein, I didn't post his spin. I simply posted a chart based on the poll results. And the sampling isn't all that wacky, certainly not wacky enough to explain the extreme dislike of Republicans and low favorability ratings.
 
Extreem is not necessarly bad...
