Poll : McCain Trusted More Than Obama on Economy, Iraq, National Security
« on: May 30, 2008, 09:43:34 AM »
fascinating and truly surprising results.  rassmussen is usually spot on with thier polling data. 

considering the fact that the MSM has been telling us that we are all economically doomed and soon
to be exterminated by terrorists that used to be our friends before we went into iraq, this is some
truly heartening news.

and obama's lead in ethics represents his "high water mark".  it's going no place but down from there.

but every silver lining has a cloud;  mccain is trusted by 25% of the democrats. :thatsright: :whatever:

McCain Trusted More Than Obama on Economy, Iraq, National Security
When it comes to the economy, 47% of voters trust John McCain more than Barack Obama. Obama is trusted more by 41%. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey also found that, when it comes to the War in Iraq, McCain is trusted more by 49% of voters. Obama is preferred by 37%. McCain has an even larger edge—53% to 31%--on the broader topic of National Security. These results are little changed from a month ago.

Obama enjoys a 43% to 39% advantage when it comes to government ethics and reducing corruption. McCain has a 44% to 38% advantage on taxes.

It is interesting to note that while McCain has the edge over Obama on these issues, Democrats are trusted more than Republicans on a generic basis. This ability of McCain to outperform the party label helps explain why he is competitive with the Democrats in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking poll.

When it comes to the economy, men trust McCain more by a 55% to 33% margin. Among women, Obama has a seven-point edge. Obama has the advantage among voters under 30 while McCain is preferred by their elders. Investors prefer McCain while non-Investors are evenly divided. Union Members prefer Obama 46% to 40%. Government Workers are evenly divided while Entrepreneurs and Private Sector Employees are more likely to trust McCain.

McCain is trusted more by 25% of Democrats. Sixty-four percent (64%) of Democrats trust the likely nominee of their Party.

Recent surveys have found that most voters believe the economic stimulus package has had little impact, most believe that tax hikes are bad for the economy, and 65% oppose an increase in the capital gains tax. The Rasmussen Consumer Index has found consumer and investor confidence at record low levels.

As for the War in Iraq, McCain is trusted more by 85% of Republicans, 22% of Democrats, and 49% of those not affiliated with either major party.

You mean the junior Senator from Illinois?  The one with no military experience?  The same man with three muzzie names who has been mentored all his adult life by preacher's who are anti American and spew hatred for "whitey" from the pulpit? 

Would you trust this man?

in particular.

What do they mean?


I know Barak is lightning.  (It is a popular last name in Israel too)

What are the other two?



As for what he got called, well, parents can be idiots.   I wanted to call my daughter Portia.   She is glad her mom put her foot down on that one.

I care more about what he stands for than his name.

Hope: he hopes that the majority of voters do not understand what he stands for. He hopes the majority of voters do not find out about his 100% liberal voting record. He hopes upon hope that the voters who hope will not find out what he is hoping for.

Change: His idea of change is to increase taxes, national health care, pull out of Iraq, cut funding for the military, cut weapon and intelligence programs, increase and add new programs for social programs, increase capital gains tax, fund global warming, punitive taxes on oil companies resulting in $7 per gal gasoline, reprations,. etc., etc.

McCain might not be a great candidate but he is much better than a socialistic left wing liberal like Obama.

i will keep saying this until McCain screws up: its his to lose at this point.

Obama and Hilary are not holding up well in the spotlight. their agendas are all too clear. the people they surround themselves with have proven unscrupulous and they arent hiding any of it well in this new media age.
