In recent elections, TIPP has the best accuracy record of any public polling firm, and it shows Obama’s approval rating in a free fall as the voters contemplate the end of Democrat control of Congress:
Likely voters favor GOP control of Congress over continued Democratic rule by 50%-39%, up from 48%-43% in July.
Note that there is also bad […]
No matter how many whoppers our progressive friends tell about Obamacare’s popularity, the reality is that the public likes it less and less. The following chart from Pollster.com tells the tale:
And, if you pull out the numbers for likely voters, the picture gets decidedly worse. As Michael Cannon at Cato points out, polls of likely voters […]
Pew has just released a public opinion survey that contains all manner of interesting information. It shows, for example, that public disapproval of Obamacare is increasing (so much for the Dem-MSM talking points).

Having finally recovered from my shock at the historical illiteracy highlighted by this video, I decided to revisit the objective data concerning who these dopes are. The blindingly obvious answer is that they are Democrats. Republicans just aren’t this dumb.

If you have ever wondered why progressives support so many fiscally unsustainable programs (e.g. Obamacare), a new Zogby survey provides the answer—our liberal friends just don’t get the math:
Who is better informed about the policy choices facing the country—liberals, conservatives or libertarians? According to a Zogby International survey … the left flunks Econ 101.
The Zogby researchers ascertained the political […]
The latest Rasmussen survey confirms that the White House is getting nowhere with its attempt to sell Obamacare’s “benefits” to a skeptical electorate. And these respondents are not the feckless phonaholics featured in most MSM polls. These folks are actual voters:
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 63% of U.S. voters now favor repeal of […]
The latest Kaiser Health Tracking Poll shows that attempts by the White House to sell Obamacare’s “immediate benefits” are falling on deaf ears.
