Things dont look good for the Republicans

It's not a record. It matches the highest number ever recorded in the twenty five years since CBS News began asking the question. The number is not good and could quite possibly spell trouble for the Republicans, since they are in The White House. Most people fail to see the big picture, for them the buck stops in the Oval Office. Never mind Congress, most people want to think the President controls everything.

BTW, do you deliberatley try to mislead people with your thread titles, or do you just not read the articles to which you link?

THIS just in:

75% of DP.com membership thinks truthmatters is a nincompoop, who gets 90% of her 'stories' flat-out wrong.

(shrug).

it is on the wrong track. Democrats and Republicans have been leading us slowly down the road to socialism. And it doesnt take a rocket scientist to understand that is the wrong track to be on. All we have to do is see the governments constant and completely interference in our lives to realize how bad socialism is.

I like President Bush. But despite what he has done he has failed in fighting socialism.

A typical "poll" that carefully does not ask why.

If they did, they'd probably find the usual: Half of the people who say it's on the wrong track, want it to be more liberal, more appeasing to its enemies, etc. And the other half think it should be more conservative, making greater effort to actually WIN the war, etc. A difference of opinion that no Presdient or policy can reconcile.

CBS's tendency to omit such details, enables them to pretend there's something wrong with Bush's policies, rather than something wrong with the electorate and the educational system (and the media) that informed them.

???....wait a minute.....I voted for "WRONG TRACK" because it's headed in the direction of being run by liberals.......

Poll is biased. They only polled one person, and that was TM itself. She only counts as 75% of herself as the other 25% of her brain is on a permanent vacation to LaLa land.

Thats because this country IS on the wrong track.

A do nothing Congress and a President that isn't pushing any agenda. Our government and people are getting further and further away from fiscal and social conservatism.

Exactly---the 75% of those who feel we are on the wrong track have at least a hundred different ideas on what the right track is. Without bothering to ask what direction they think America needs to go, the poll only says people want change which is GUARANTEED to happen in 2008.

So, TM, is this the fault of the GOP President or the Dem Congress?

75% of Americans think the country is off on the wrong track -

Wait until the masses realise the country was forced off the track by 8 years of obstructionist Democraps.
