Zogby/O'Leary Report 100-Days Poll Shows That Taxpayers are More Opposed to President Obama's Policies Than Non-taxpayers

    Abortion

    Q. President Obama's health secretary nominee, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is a
    supporter of abortion on demand. President Obama indicated that he would
    appoint someone who was neutral on the issue, but pro-life forces find
    Gov. Sebelius' pro-choice record unacceptable.  Do you support or oppose
    Gov. Sebelius is a good choice for Secretary of Health and Human Services?

6. He's still in business

Because he can make the numbers say what his masters want them to say! I'd call him a prostitute, but then I'd be insulting prostitutes.

2. Not shocking. It's self-interest.

Just like gun owners are more opposed to laws regulating firearms than non-gun owners.

Nothing surprising about this at all.

3. ummm... ok

i'm not seeing a vast gulf in the numbers...and to be honest, i don't know why responses would be split among that demographic (especially for a non-economic question like the third one)

4. 1st - this "poll" has NOTHING to do with any policies -

Abortion, guns and God - same old wedge issues.

5. Who writes these f'ing questions?

Edited on Mon May-04-09 10:09 AM by Sanity Claws

They sound like they were all written by the GOP cabal.

7. What an absolutely worthless poll

Zogby's just making money. That's all. Giving whoever paid for the poll the results they wanted regardless of whether the results are true or even relevant.

8. "God, guns, and abortions" isn't "Obama's policies."

Good to know Zogby is still willing to play wedge politics for a buck, though.

9. Zogby has to produce polls like this

So the right wing hatemongers will have something to peddle on their audience to keep them listening and waiting for the "revolution".
