We’re worse off than 4 years ago, voters say

March 13, 2008 Leave a comment

NBC/WSJ poll:

Forty-three percent say that they and their families are worse off, compared with 34 percent who say they’re better off; 21 percent respond that their status is the same. By contrast, strong pluralities or majorities answered that they were better off before entering the general elections in 1996, 2000 and 2004 — when, with the exception of the extremely close 2000 race, the incumbent party held onto the presidency.

POLL: Another World War?

July 14, 2006 4 comments

I was just wondering if anyone was worried about the wars in many countries around the world; and the United States involvement in what looks to be an inevitable world war? So, I made up a poll, “POLL: Do You Think We Are Headed Toward Another World War?

Personally, I feel that we are headed toward WWIII. Since, the 4th of July the world has changed even more than it has since 9/11. To top it all off, we have an inadequate government, to say the least, and our troops are spread too thin (fighting in an unjust and illegal war they didn’t bargain for) and are too tired to fight anymore battles.

Most Americans want Bush to reveal lobbyist ties: poll

January 28, 2006 Leave a comment

Politics News Article Reuters.com:”WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Three in four Americans want President George W. Bush to disclose his aides’ links with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a demand the White House has rejected so far, according to a poll published on Saturday.
The Washington Post said the demand was supported by clear majorities of both Republicans and Democrats in the Washington Post-ABC News poll conducted between January 23 and January 26.
Abramoff pleaded guilty to fraud charges this month and agreed to help U.S. prosecutors in a corruption probe that has sparked calls for reform of the Washington practice of lobbying lawmakers with donations and favors to influence legislation.
At a White House news conference on Thursday, Bush said he did not know Abramoff and would not release photographs in which the two appeared together.
He said the release of the photographs would be used for ‘pure political purposes’ by Democrats.
The Washington Post said 76 percent of those surveyed said Bush should release lists of all meetings between his aides and Abramoff. Eighteen percent disagreed.
‘Two in three Republicans joined with eight in 10 Democrats and political independents in favoring disclosure,’ the paper said.
It said 1,002 people were interviewed and the poll’s margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points.
