Poll: American’s Don’t Much Like Congressional Republicans

By

Tom Jenson, writing on Public Policy Polling’s blog notes that Congressional Republicans aren’t terribly popular Americans… or even their own base: Our last national generic ballot poll found the Republicans ahead 45-42 despite the fact that Congressional Republicans had a 24/61 approval rating. Even among respondents who said they were going to vote Republican the […]

Poll Question: If the 2012 Republican Presidential Primary were being held today who would you vote for?

By

[poll id=”16″] I’m not crazy about Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee so they’re not even on my short list. I love Sarah Palin but I think she’s been to damaged by partisan attacks to be viable candidate… Ditto for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, he’s to much of a lighting rod. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty […]

Righto-sphere Poll

By

Cassandra posted these questions from John Hawkins survey of rightwing bloggers at Villainous Company earlier and though I’d add my two cents. 1) Do you think the GOP will gain or lose seats in the House in 2010? They’ll pick up a handful of seats. 2) Do you think the GOP will gain or lose […]

In the […]

By

[poll id=”12″] It’s Masters time! I’m going with Phil Mickelson, yes I know he missed the cut at the Shell Houston open but we’re talking about Phil Mickelson here… I can’t think of another player for whom a previous week’s results predict a following week’s results less than they do for Phil Mickelson. Sure Tiger […]

Poll Question: Who Do You Want As RNC Chair?

By

[poll id=”11″] My initial gut reaction is Newt Gingrich, though, the more I think about it the more I’m leaning towards Michael Steele or Fred Thompson. As much as I like Newt he may be to polarizing for the job. The choice between Steele and Thompson is tough one, I don’t think we could go […]

Poll Question: Who Won The Final Presidential Debate?

By

[poll id=”9″] Overall I thought this was John McCain’s best debate. Unfortunately, I don’t think it was a game changer. In fact I think the plumber, Joe Wurzelbacher, was the only real winner. A couple of quick points: 1) The Secret Service says they have yet to find anyone who can backup that Scranton ‘Kill […]
