GOP Takes Gallup Lead: Harbinger Or Outlier?

Yes indeed the Pres. and the Democratic congress has helped us tremendously thus far..there was the GMC and Chrysler bailout..oh no wrong. Okay there was the bank bailout where we all received billions in bonuses..oh wrong again. Okay there was the stimulus that helped us all..oh wrong again. That helped build a 13 foot tunnel for turtles and other wildlife to cross U.S. 27 in Florida. Surely the health care bill will help us all..we will just be heavily taxed for that one…Well he helped with the unemployment rate not going over 8%…wrong again it’s at 10.2 and rising..Maybe the cap and tax…I just saw Gore as he boarded his plane heading to the bank and he said it will definately help us but he was laughing so hard I didn’t quite get how much he said it would cost us. Somebody let the President and Congress know they have helped us enough and we can take it from here.

The inability of the Dems to accomplish anything of note for 3 yrs., is more than enough reason to give up on them, altogether.

dems are done in 2010. they never learn and frankly the gop will probably follow suit after they gain control. what is so haed to figure out that the fringes of each party are not what the majority wants, yet leadership always follows the agenda laid down by the the fringe element…in the mean time its all about REAL JOBS.

As an independent voter, birther and tea partier I don’t think the republicans get it yet! We have noticed that not one republican (or democrat) in the congress in opposition of Obamacare has addressed the constitutionality of government takeover of healthcare.
We are looking for politicians to stand in the gap, not on the fence!

Way too soon to pay attention to anyone that says one side or another has an advantage but I can tell you that the last two insane bills passed by Congress is not about helping all the American people-it is about winning, winning at all cost, and expanding Governments control over our lives. If Government wants to help they could set up a a department like the food stamp program and have people who need help come in and qualify for it. For those that have insurance, reform it allow purchases from state to state etc.
Remember folks, Congress has been under democratic control for 3 years…is your life any better now than 3 years ago? Is this swirl and hype about healthcare doing anything to get you a good paying job?

News Flash! The Cuban government is going broke and is now actually asking its people for criticism. They are looking to role back socialism in favor of small businesses based upon capitalist model. How ironic. Checkout the NPR website with an article titled: Cubans Warily Test Their New Freedom To Criticize

A pointless poll unless we see who is running. Put up a nut case and chances are you are not going to win.

Democrats will ignore these poll results at their own peril. America is still very much a centrist country. Today’s Democrats in power are not your father’s Democrats. They are 60′s radicals all grown up. JFK would be ostracized from today’s Democrat party for being too conservative. If today’s Democrats don’t get that message, so be it.

Poll is a little decieving because in order for GOP to retake congress which I am hoping for GOP needs a at least a double digit lead in the generic polling.
Dems have a 258-177 advantage right now. GOP needs a double digit lead because dems will need a lot of incumbents to lose. GOP will run up big victories in the seats they hold especially in the south but if dems win narrow victories in the seats they hold they can still retain the house even losing the overall vote.
Dems also have very few retirements which is different than 1994.
After gop took the house in 1994 it worked good as they cut spending and balanced the budget with Clinton.

Freedom is imprisonment for failure to prostrate one’s self to the power of the government. The people have to fear the power of government to enjoy the benefits of it’s heavy handed control over their lives. It’s very progressive. Thomas Jefferson called it tyranny, but Karl Marx calls it freedom. Who are you going to believe, Thomas Jefferson or Karl Marx? Thomas Jefferson was obviously and idiot and the people should reject him and embrace Karl Marx. The government should take over car companies and banks and health care and have control over our pay, punitively tax the people, control speech, sky rocket the costs of energy and imprisonment them for dissent, all while encumbering us with even trillions more in spending, that will come from US. That’s the current agenda. That’s what’s been promised to us. That’s progressive. We are an Obama Nation, like it or not. This is the agenda of the ruling party overlords and what they are promising to do to us for as long as they are in power.

So a few think the the Gallup Poll is the Republican poll I did not know that but maybe i am dumb. Now if you want to go by Polls from the New York Times LA times ABC CBS NY Post you get very Liberal Views now we are talking about views for the Democrats rather they are right or wrong. The people that Blame the Republicans for all of Obama problems can Dream on. The President has spend Twice as much money on things that has not done much I did not like some thing that Bush wanted but i have not liked any thing that Obama has done and if he say something good i will believe it is good when it happens which i have not seen any thing that he has done that is any good. YOU Democrats that like high Texes for the big Give aways then you have a good man in office. Obama changes his mind every day. ON the Health care i do not want and the people that want it let the Democrats give it to you after you pay for the health care and you go to the doctor and Hospital where are you going to have the money to pay or do your want the democrats to pay for everything?

And of course the Democrats are in trouble. Look what Obama did to the economy. He owns a 10.2 jobless rate. under Bush it never rose above 7.5%. Obama has lost more jobs and spent us into such an irresponsible debt it will take decades to recover from Obama. His freeloader policies are making it worse.

Darin Actually the unemployment rate is closer to 18% if you take into account people who have run out of unemployment benifits or taken a low paying job just to get by.

keep spinning George. Keep spinning. Good to see you are STILL a yes man for the DNC. Repulsive that you call yourself a newsman.

The budget deficit certainly didn’t blow up under Obama’s watch. The problem is that during the good years (2003-2007) when the economy was booming, why did the Bush administration made record deficit year after year? There is nothing Obama could have done in the face of the most serious recession since the Great Depression, with plunging tax revenue, increase in number of Americans in need, the need to bail out banks to prevent the catastrophic collapse of the whole economy, and the need to implement economic stimulus. However, I am glad the President is focused on the long term picture of investing in infrastructure and renewable energy for future benefits of the US economy.

Outlier!!!
I’m with brian, james, sammy and a few others who appear to be thinking for themselves. The Republicans during the past 8 years took a large surplus and ran it into the ground. Yea! I got extra IRS payouts while Bush was in office and he/RNC cut taxes but I knew it was a bad move, at the time, and that it would likely hurt our economy. Anyone who has gone to college and taken the required Economics courses will know an economic down turn such as this cannot rebound overnight, it could take years and no human (Obama & the Dems included) will be able to work a miracle to change that fact. So to blame Obama and the Dems is pointless. The USA is the only industrialized county with citizens not getting the healthcare we as a WHOLE need and healthcare costs skyrocketing. I would not be surprised if some of the Republican’s are in the pockets of the health insurance companies!!! Unless the Republicans stop their bickering and stonewalling of everything the Dems come up with and start working with them/everyone like we pay them too, and coming up with constructive alternatives to what the Dems propose I’ll stop voting Republican and vote for the Dems — at lease they are trying to do something constructive and help the people they represent!!!

paul — are you totally nuts??? I’m a Republican and am so sick and tired of your kind of rhetoric!!!
YOU SAY:
You have to either be very, very rich or
so poor that you don’t pay taxes, to be a Democrat.
Conservatives are hard-working, tax-paying people and they work way too hard
to be inclined to turn over most of their paycheck to our bureaucratic gov’t.
I SAY:
REALLY??? you got to be kidding – most Dems (everyday folks) are dirt pour, hard-working, tax paying people. Most Republicans are middle class or rich with closed fists that will do little or nothing humanitarian even if it was to save their lives and will find every tax loophole legal or not so they won’t have to pay their taxes. The most equitable way to assess income tax would be a flat percentage — that way the rich would be paying their fair share!
I’m so disgusted with the majority of my Republican brethren I’m thinking of changing to the Democratic Party!

I do not want a company which has profit as its stated number one goal to be making decisions about my medical expenses. There are all kinds of politics and sleazy decision making. I realize that this same kind of politics and decision making is in government which has a stated goal the good of the citizens. The difference in stated goals, profiteering on one hand and good of the citizens on the other hand. This leaves me with a no brainer preference: I do not want the profit motive getting in the way of my health. I ask my government to regulate and interfere when profiteering promises to be detrimental to my health, no matter how much the companies involved spend on lobby activities and misleading spin. Regulate and interfere, just as you would if some driver runs slipshod past red lights, stop signs and speed limits after drinking alcoholic beverages. Diminish his freedom to do so with laws and police.

Was a Democrat. Changed to Independent 1 month ago. I want Pelosi out, I want Obama out. I don’t want govt to shove their own healthcare at me.

“Gallup has been a corrupted Republican tool for several tears now an is always skewed in that direction.”
Yup, and so is the NYT. Oh, and MSNBC!
LOL!!

Rasmussen has shown Republicans with a similar edge for several weeks, so it isn’t correct to say that this is the only national poll showing such a result.
