Poll: Voters Against Obama 'Wealth Redistribution' Plan
CNBC ^ | 10/24/08 | CNBC

Posted on 10/24/2008 10:46:40 AM PDT by OPS4

Washington, D.C. – Election Day is only two weeks away, and as John McCain and Barack Obama make their final pitches to “close the deal” with voters, a stunning new ATI-News/Zogby poll shows a clear majority of undecided voters disagree with Obama’s plan for wealth redistribution in America.

“The major issue on voters’ minds right now is the economy, and the major voting bloc on candidates’ minds right now is the undecided voter,” said ATI-News president Brad O’Leary. “Our poll results show that undecided voters overwhelmingly reject Obama’s economic plan to redistribute wealth.”

The poll surveyed 1,214 likely voters nationwide and was conducted October 17-20. It has a margin of error of +/-2.9 percentage points.

ATI-News/Zogby asked likely voters: “John McCain and other critics say Barack Obama is heavily influenced by people and organizations which seek social justice through redistribution of wealth in America. Do you agree or disagree with efforts to bring social justice by the redistribution of wealth?”

By a more than two-to-one margin, undecided voters disagree with such efforts to redistribute wealth. In total, 57 percent of undecided voters said they disagreed, while only 24 percent said they agreed (19 percent are not sure).

I don't doubt it. But too many people don't recall 1976.

I think that sentiment is one of the keys to a potential McCain/Palin victory.

With times being Grnchy, no one wants to pay more out of their pockets, and when the news of the Dhimmi 401k seizure plans becomes public knowledge we achieve that so neccessary 3-1 break in the undecideds.

The next logical question would be to ask, “Who will you be voting for on election day?” I wonder why he didn’t.

Yet we are led to believe they will still vote for Barry. LMFAO. What a Joke these guys are. Zogby..if you are reading this.. You are a SHAM! Now go fix your numbers. I noticed McCain picked up 2 today in your Poll. Now keep it coming back to even before the election so you can say you called it right.

Gotta believe this is the real October Surprise, “Joe the Plumber” who got BHO to speak his true beliefs just when undecided voters were starting to taste the Obama kool-aid.

If redistribution of wealth aka socialism is not against everything this country stands for, what is? Why did we bother with Viet Nam and the Cold War if we were just going to let Socialists like Obama take over the USA?

Unbelievable this race is even close, when you think about it. He may as well try to reincarnate Abbie Hoffman as SecState and Bill Kunstler as AG!

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read “Vote Obama, I need the money.” I laughed.

Once in the restaurant my server had on a “Obama 08” tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference—just imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need—the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight. I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I’ve decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful. At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he had earned even though the actual recipient deserved money more.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application. REDISTRIBUTION OF SOMEONE ELSE’S WEALTH, A GREAT IDEA................or just a fool’s game?

Under Obama's banner, the Dems have completely unmasked themselves and their beliefs over the past couple of months, to the point where they are very close to boasting of their socialism. They're filth and they're thieves but they're not stupid; whatever polling/data/focus groups they have, something has told them that the time is right to openly offer socialism to the American public. And sadly, as you say, the race is unbelievably close.

All McCain and Palin have to do is beat the drum of “wealth redistribution” for the final two weeks. I knew Obama would let something slip and this was it for sure! He tried to keep his mouth shut but failed!

If any business man had the courage in this state to let his employees wear the Muslims pin I can bet he will not be in business very long here..

“Joe the Plumber’s impromptu encounter with Barack the Candidate. Actually, it was a friendly, relaxed 5 minute discussion between a citizen and the man who wants to be his president. But if you listen to the mainstream media, you’d think Joe the Plumber lied his way into a private meeting, accosted Senator Obama, then held him in a half-nelson while shouting profane obscenities. News organizations sent teams of investigators and reporters to expose this dangerous impostor who had the temerity to challenge Obama’s economic proposals while standing in front of his own house. What nerve! What a threat to the future of the American liberal utopia! Apparently editors across the country were bellowing: “This man must be stopped!” ...........HL

I’d like a poll to see who believes there are actually undecided voters.

What is "stunning" about the fact that most Americans don't want to let some thugnanny government take their money to give to someone else?
