Poll is about halfway down the right-hand side of the main page, just below the videos.

It looks as though the crack addicts, ACORNS, felons, sexual deviants and commie union thugs have already hit it pretty hard.

CommieNewsNow poll?

No thanks

[EGPWS]

Current results (yes, I know it's CNN):

Yes CNN, they probably started on a 50,000 base line Republican number before starting the poll.

polls are stupid and irrelevant

I agree wholeheartedly, with one minor exception. The Tea Party are not Republicans. They are the Tea Party. They may caucus with the Republicans, but they are their own breed of political animal.

The question is poorly framed. It really is this: which party deserves more credit for stopping Washington’s spending spree?

[yldstrk]

Obama’s approval rate is 90% outside the US because the countries outside the US want to see the US “taken down a peg.”

Which party deserves more blame credit for the U.S. debt-ceiling standoff?

IMHO. This question has been fixed to now more accurately represent the Republicans' success in stopping the Obama/Reid plan to automatically raise debt ceiling, raise spending levels, and raise taxes.

[Rudder]

WOW! CNN is as bad as I thought. I don’t think much about CNN.

I would personally owe ...$92 + 9 =

$101,000

of such debt. With

$11,000 in interest,

not counting rising interest rates.

So would every taxpayer reading this.

This figure does not count taxes, IMO. We are in an ‘interest only’ pay day paycheck situation on the debt, as an entire country.

"They may caucus with the Republicans, but they are their own breed of political animal."

God bless them all.

Typical CNN results.

[tflabo]

Hell on earth for liberals and leftists will be a world devoid of christians and conservatives. They cant have their nirvana and enjoy it too. I guess they will achieve it with the rapture.

[funfan]

Yes!

[Raycpa]

I’d give the republicans blame but I think its more appropriate phrase it as giving them the credit for this crisis.

[chris37]

The question is moot.

[dfwgator]

It doesn’t matter, neither party will stop the inevitable from happening.
