Consumer confidence has fallen to the lowest level in two years. Just 31% of adults rate their own personal finances as good or excellent. That’s down from 35% on the day Barack Obama was inaugurated and from 34% at the beginning of 2011. In the fall of 2008, just before the collapse of Lehman Brothers, 43% rated their own finances as good or excellent. Only 18% believe their personal financial situation is getting better. Most (54%) say their finances are getting worse.
Voters are skeptical about the promises of spending cuts in the debt ceiling debate. A commentary by Scott Rasmussen, published in Politico, put it this way: “Based on the history of the past few decades, voters have learned that politicians promising unspecified spending cuts should be treated with all the credibility of a six-year old boy caught with his hand in the cookie jar promising to be good for the rest of his life.â€
An early look at Election 2012 shows the president locked in a tight race with Republican hopeful Mitt Romney, it’s Romney 43% Obama 42%.

That’s down five points from a month ago and the lowest level ever recorded.
-21
I believe it is (or tied with a previous one). It may have gone down as low as -22, but I think that was the lowest.
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
When Canada is more conservative than we are, you know something's f'ed.

Eighty-two percent (82%) of voters believe Congress should take a 25% pay cut at least until the federal budget is balanced. By a 48% to 41% margin, they also believe the president should take a 50% pay cut. Most think there should be no Congressional pensions and that the presidential pension is too high.
When workers were cleaning up after the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, they raised a cross-shaped steel beam they found in the rubble as a symbol of hope. Seventy-two percent (72%) believe the cross should be included in the 9/11 memorial despite a lawsuit saying inclusion would violate the separation of church and state.
Additionally, 52% think the separation of church and state is supposed to protect the church from the government. Thirty-two percent (32%) say it’s intended to protect the government from the church.
-14 today??? Rasmussen needs to quit polling Chicago, NYC and SF so heavily.
