Well, it would appear that Harry Reid’s interminable maunderings about his humble beginnings in Searchlight have failed to remove the stench of the Beltway. The voters of Nevada are onto him:
The survey of Nevada voters commissioned by the Review-Journal shows Reid getting 37 percent of the vote compared with 47 percent for Republican Sue Lowden, who would win if […]

NEW NEVADA POLL: REID 10 POINTS BEHIND REPUBLICAN CHALLENGER
1994 VERSUS 2010
Are the Democrats really in as much trouble with the voters as they were in 1994? A quick comparison of Gallup’s generic ballot surveys from both years suggests that they probably are. The latest survey, which was done after Obamacare passed, shows the Dems at 44% while the GOP weighs in at 47%:
If that seems like a less-than-hair-raising margin, reflect on the fact that these […]
GALLUP: MAJORITY BELIEVE DEM “REFORM” TACTICS WERE AN “ABUSE OF POWER”
An under-reported feature of Gallup’s latest round of polls shows that 53% of Americans believe the tactics used by the Dems to pass Obamacare were an abuse of power. Here’s the survey question:
Regardless of whether you favored or opposed the health care legislation Congress passed this past week, do you think the methods Democratic leaders used to get […]
VOTERS READY TO PARTY LIKE IT’S 1994
The Democrat party line on Obamacare is that all great social programs are controversial but quickly gain acceptance after passage. Their obvious hope is that Obamacare will soon be as popular as Social Security, and that the voters will forgive their recent skulduggery.
Well, Obamacare had better get popular in a hurry or the Democrats are toast. Gallup’s latest poll of […]
THOMAS SOWELL EXPLAINS WHY THE DEMS WANT TO DEFY THE VOTERS ON OBAMACARE
If you still harbor doubts that the public hates Obamacare, the latest survey from Pew (hardly a hive of Tea Party types) should extinguish them. Echoing all the serious polls, it shows 48% to 38% against:
This is where the public has been since early last Fall. So, why do Obama, congressional Democrats and the establishment “news” […]
NEJM SURVEY: 46% OF PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS SAY OBAMACARE WILL FORCE THEM OUT OF MEDICINE
UPDATE:
NEJM has bowdlerized this story. This morning, the link below went directly to data from the survey. Now it takes you to a page about physician recruitment, the second paragraph of which provides a link to The Medicus Firm, which apparently conducted the survey in December.
As Paul Hsieh noted last night, NEJM is “hardly a right-wing rag.” An understatement if ever there […]
AP FUDGES REPORT ON PELOSI EFFORT TO FLIP OBAMACARE VOTES
In its capacity as Democrat propaganda ministry, the Associated Press has produced another disingenuous story on Nancy Pelosi’s doomed effort to pull new Obamacare votes out of her hat.
In a “news” article with the misleading title, “Some House foes eye switch to ‘yes’ on health care,” the once-credible wire service begins its story with an equally dishonest lede:
Ten […]
ZOGBY POLL: 57% AGREE WITH GOP ON REFORM
Here’s yet another reason for the GOP to stick to its guns on health reform. A convincing majority of Americans agree with them that Congress and the President should start from scratch on health reform:
Of the more than 2,500 people surveyed from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1, 57 percent agreed with a statement that Congress […]
DUMBEST PALIN-BASHING POST OF THE WEEK
It’s sometimes difficult to escape the impression that most journalists are … ah … I’m trying to avoid Rahm Emanuel’s favorite epithet … er … kinda slow. A case in point is Bonnie Erbe, who posted the following at U.S. News & World Report:
I ask you, dear readers, is this the end of Sarah Palin’s presidential quest … The so-called […]
FOX POLL: ONLY 23% OF VOTERS WANT DEMS TO CONTINUE WITH CURRENT REFORM BILLS
The House and Senate versions of Obamacare are as dead as Ted Kennedy, and this survey shows that only a small minority of registered voters want these boondoggles revived:
A new Fox News Poll shows that less than one-quarter of American voters support passage of the legislation currently before Congress (23 percent).
In fact, fewer than half of Democrat voters support the current congressional health care “reform” bills, and nearly 40% of […]
