"While impressions of Obama’s professional performance are mixed, the same can’t be said of the Republican Party at large. Put simply, the GOP’s brand is still a mess. According to the poll, just 25% have a positive opinion of the party (compared with 42% for the Dem Party), which ties the GOP’s low-water mark in the survey and which is a worse score than it ever had during the Bush presidency."
The poll, conducted Oct. 16-18 among 1,038 Americans, has an overall margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points; among the Republicans polled, the error margin is 4.5 percentage points. |

Thumper, Thumper, Thumper...you nattering nabob of negativity.
 I suspect that you may be too young to remember 1976. Watergate was still fresh in America's collective memory. The president and vice president resigned. Gerald Ford, who was not even elected, was widely criticised for pardoning Nixon before charges could be brought against the man. The GOP was thought to be DEAD. The peanut man from Plains was even elected. And 4 years later? I'll let Thumper fill in the blanks.It's not over for the Republican Party. I predict that they will return, stronger than ever. And much of that return will be the result of the policies of Obama and Pelosi. The majority of America is closer to the political center than the current Democratic leadership. See you after the mid terms... |

Why is it that every Thread this ThumperNM poster puts up is an attack thread?
And most of them are lies to boot? Todays politics remind me of an old saying. - "Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?" - Joseph Stalin |

First off, he doesn't need any defenders. 2nd, just look at his threads, plain to see. 3rd, there are Polls out there that say 75% of Americans don't like Democrats. It's called SPIN. Want to see his lies? http://forums.military.com/eve...2893/m/6120064632001 http://forums.military.com/eve...2893/m/7370075632001 Todays politics remind me of an old saying. - "Ideas are more powerful than guns.

Thumper . . .
You're preaching to the choir . . . If you would pay attention, you would see the conservatives that post have zero regard for the Republican Party. The RINOs have taken over the party, soon there will be a Conservative Party to stand up to fill the void of the RINO Party . . . Hell, I don't like the Republicans, I have three card carrying REPs (bride, daughter, mom-n-law) in my homestead that DON'T LIKE THE REP PARTY . . . My son and I make fun of them (ladies of the homestead) everytime the REPs do something you would only expect DEMs to do . . .you know, spend, spend, spend with reckless abandon... I think instead of Thumper how about Chickenlittle . . . |

Thumper could you post anything less professional? No indentification of who conducted the Poll, I mean seriously thats just basic information. so 75% of 1,038 people (or 778) are meant to represent the views of 307,806,410 US Citizens. 1,038 is 0.00033722494603020123% of 307,806,410 Job well done thumper.... Its a Movement comparable to Civil Rights  XXXhttp://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.htmlXXX |

Recent polls show that Pachyderms are now trusted more than Jackasses to legislate about almost every significant issue.
None of the career elistists deserve much respect. Within the past decade they have both had ample opportunity to enable the nation to make great gains. Their non-leadership has not enabled much gais; if things happen right, they might at best enable We the People to prosper, little thanks to them. They have generally failed us. Yet, we hear and read of so many nitwit half-baked Americans who look at the parties, one or another, as being essnetial to our prosperity. The idiot lemming semi-citizens never learn; they are the reason the elected officials are so dishonest and ineffective. |

Wow, a poll consisting of just over 1,000 people in a Democratic area...Shocker.
Nice try ThumperNumbNuts C.R. |

That's a joke, son. |
I am afraid you got it back assward. The last poll that counted had the JA's with the majority, hence all the whining. My sympathies. |

I am not a Republican or a Democrat, but I do think the Republicans are only hurting themselves right now. The only thing they seem to do now is oppose anything that comes from te White House and they have no ideas of their own. I am no fan of Pelosi or the Democratic leaders in Congress, and I didn't vote for President Obama (although I do think he is doing a good job now).

All polls consist of approximately 1000 people. Go read up on how polls are conducted. |

Also, what's your source for claiming that the poll was conducted in a Democratic area, Runaway? Just because basic statistics is too hard for you is no reason to assume it is wrong. |

From the same poll And looking ahead to the 2010 midterms, 46% prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress, versus 38% who want a GOP-controlled Congress. Last month, Dems held a 43%-40% advantage. |

Well guys, if your using this poll.
http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/MSNBC/Sections/NEWS/091027_NBCPoll.pdf It will be dismissed out of hand, due to NBC being one of the sources. Never mind that Rupert Murdochs' Wall Street Journal is another sponsor. |

jdksfcret, There are two polls with essentially the same type of result one was a CNN poll and the other was by the Wall Street Journal and NBC. So its easy to understand that the socialist/communist Wall Street Journal is merely capitulating to their liberal base. as to the claim that this was a poll conducted in "Democratic" area: Republican Party favorability Fav Unfav All 21 67 South 48 37 NE 6 87 Midwest 10 78 West 12 75 |

Funny stuff we have here attacking the GOP when the DEMOCRAT controlled Congress is at an all time low, the Dems are fighting amongst themselves over COMMIE healthcare that is NOT FREE and will end up rationing healthcare for all to save costs, and of course MOST Americans based on recent polls find themselves to be CONSERVATIVE with only like some piddly 20% considering themselves LIBS....I would imagine what the people TRULY want is for the Repubs and the Dems to be honorable, have integrity, and do the will of the people instead of politics as usual with special interest and payoffs involved at the cost of the taxpayer and our National Debt (We can't keep spending what we don't have and NOBODY I KNOW likes to be CONTROLLED)...."If" the GOP can find it's roots in Conservatism once again I would imagine their approval ratings will substantially climb back up since that is where MOST Americans are!

I won't dismiss it, I'll stand by my claim that it was conducted in a major Democratic area, Albany, New York I believe. Even the poll itself (Section F4) shows only 10% of respondents were Republicans, to 24% Democrats. C.R. |
|||
|

Experienced Member |
And what makes you think that your contention that 24% identifying themselves as strong Democrat skews the entire poll? That was the purpose of the poll, to see what the trend was since the last poll was taken. So, if you have proof that the poll was only in the Albany, New York area, put it up. If a previous poll had the numbers reversed, am I to believe that the poll was taken in (think of any strong Republican city in the US), and I shouldn't believe the results with nothing to back up my contention. |

The Republican Party lost it's popularity when gas prices skyrocketed and our economy took a serious nose dive after the housing market bubble burst. If the Democrats can show they are able to improve our economy and keep gas prices stable (under $3.00), they have a good chance of retaining power.
President Obama may have made a mistake by tackling the health care problem during his first year in office because the public is more concerned with the faltering job market, devalued home prices, and high cost of consumer goods right now. I believe all these problems including health care can be tackled simultaneously but many Americans are of a different opinion. |
