Independents split 48% happy/relieved the gun bill didn't pass vs. 41% angry/disappointed that it didn't pass. The two parties split more skewed....

Reps were 51% happy/relieved 34% angry/disappointed

Dems were 67% angry/disappointed vs. 22% happy/relieved

So for those touting the 90% poll taken right after Sandy Hook... The above is rationale for the way the vote went. Even Dems didn't get 90% of their own party.
 
These kinds of polls don't really tell me much. If they were relieved, what were they relieved about? What were the others angry about?

If you asked all of the respondents in the poll that question, and also for details of what they thought the bill entailed, you'd probably get wildly different answers. I doubt more than a few understood what was really being voted on.

and the '90%' that supported 'background checks'... how many of them do you think actually understood what was currently in place vs. what was being proposed via the bill?

what skewering are you referring to this time? If you actually took a look at the report, your link affirms a portion of it.
 
In October, the last time that PPP surveyed voters about Ayotte, she had a 48-35 approval rating. She has now tumbled underwater, with 46 percent disapproving and 44 percent approving.

Hmmm... so she lost 4% of approval and gained 13% disapproval. Definitely a big move... she took undecideds for the most part and swung them to unfavorable. But again, income level of NH, demographics and geographic location all would suggest that NH was more in favor of the bill than the country as a whole.

Oh a portion of it huh? LOL

Yes... It shows that a NE state was more in favor of the bill than against it... which is precisely what a portion of the data suggested. You are looking at ONE Senators favorability ratings from one NE state. My link covers the US in general. So one state is a portion of the whole.

Really sad that I have to dumb things down so much for you.

So you think a poll on ONE Senator in ONE State somehow negates the poll that covers the country. When the nationwide poll shows that the NE is the one portion of the country that more strongly favored the bill.

Yeah, you are approaching Jarod and Desh levels of stupidity now.

WHat I think is that the people who voted against this bill are going to pay. Of course SUperfreak, in Mississippi they aren't going to pay. No one needs you to point that out. Those people are too stupid to read first of all.

But a lot of congressional seats, and a good number of senate seats are going to be impacted by this vote. That vote wasn't the end, it was the beginning.

1) There are more registered Democrats than Republicans.
2) The wording of that poll is designed to skew the result.
3) As Ive pointed out three times today, might does not mean right!

I agree with you, it wont make much differece, the representatives voted, for the most part, with their constituancy. It mighe make a difference with fundrasing, but on both sides.
