Where’s that BS-O-Meter thingy?

This is push polling by the “beneficiaries” of that pseudo-stimulus bill...

Probably need to take a close look at who was polled.
welfare queens, government employees, and Democrats might have been overrepresented.

The problem with the poll is that the democrats were not listed as a choice.

LOL, this poll is so that Obama can say he is running against the House leadership.

What a crock.

If you ask people do they support a jobs plan, most will answer in the affirmative. Ask them if they support a new stimulus, most will not. Ask them if they support half a trillion in new spending, most will not.

I didn’t look at the question specifics yet, but my guess is they just called it “job plan” instead of either a “stimulus” or “spending” bill.

Either the numbers are completely cooked, or the country is full of total lunatics.

Don't underestimate the ability of the media to move the masses of stupid sheep towards the poison fountain of HopeyChange.

Drink little sheep, your One the shepherd knows best how to take care of you.

“Manufactured bunkum for the Leftist masses”

It will do it’s job by convincing the uneducated and uniformed that if the majority of people approve of it, then they should too.

Garbage poll. Weekend polling polling anyone who was over 18 and answered the phone. They are also very careful to NOT mention how many Democrats vrs how many Rep vrs how many independents they polled NO serious polling outfit polls in this fashion. "Any Adult" polls are mostly polls that will track far left.

The Junk Media loves these sorts of polls since it tends to validate their existing story lines. Since most of the people who respond to this poll neither pay much attention nor vote, these tend to follow exactly the story line the "news media" is currently pushing. These people usually can be relied upon to just recite what ever the last headline or broadcast news blurb said.

ABC is transparently pushing the DNC directed fable that 0 is the "new Truman" running against the "do nothing Congress". What ABC was careful to cover up the 5 point+ advantage the GOP Congress holds over the Democrats in Congress on what voters consider the top issues of the nation.

Yeah, he might be making some headway....he is actively going around on our dime promoting his socialist agenda.

The Republican leadership, otoh, has snuck off into a corner and is sucking their thumb.

How about the Republicans letting their testicles drop, and go on their OWN “education tour”, showing people how Hussein’s plan is nothing but Porkulus Part IV?

Hussein is not going to shut his insufferable pie hole—all this assclown knows how to do is TALK and make speeches to fawning audiences and media. So be an alternate VOICE out there, Republicans!

The only constant opposition to Hussein everyday is Rush Limbaugh. And Free Republic.

The Washington Post isn’t even covering this poll, this way.
This poll is terrible for the Messiah. The jobs bill only helps him with his crazy base. Everyone else has turned Obama out.

Read and rejoice!

The problem with a poll like this, is that Congress is not a nationally elected office...of course everyone is mad at Congress.By that I mean, they are all mad at everyone else’s representative. They all believe they have the good one, and everyone else has the one that is ruining the country. So, when it comes to election time they will still vote for their own. ABC does not want to point this out because it will hurt their “people are going to vote out Congress template”

LOL, great poll!!

Let’s see here:

Owner of polling company former 10 year employee of ABC

National Adults surveyed without any indication as to demographic %

Commissioned by 2 of the most liberal media sources in the free world

Weekend poll

I wouldn’t bet the farm on this one.

The libs continue to lie and try to support Bozo the WH clown. If this was true then 52% of Americans are total frickin' idiots. It, however, isn't true.
