The poll should be “Who do you give credit to for shutting down the government?” The conservative republicans would win that one hands down.

The ‘See Nothing New’ network is running a “propaganda effectiveness poll” is all. This poll shows the absolute ignorance of those that watch their network. They may as well put the Democrat party symbol on their logo.

Yeah, and especially web polls. But I figure that as long as some people may take them seriously, it’s worth the few seconds it takes to FReep ‘em. That’s just me, though.

I saw a story not too long ago that it was CNN’s own staff trashing its polls and comments.

Perhaps it should be "credit" instead of "blame". I see a freeze in the debt ceiling as a good start.

In a world where obama's lackeys in the media try to "make up" the news and opinion there is a deciding factor...numbers don't lie, democrats do.

All of the big lies told by dems years ago keep coming to light day after day, and so will the lies about who caused this fiasco we're experiencing.

How can they GOP be the sole blame when they have already submitted at least two plans up for vote, and the johnny-come-lately dems finally limp forward with a Boehner look-alike bill amended to console their pouting boss, barack obama.

I say duck the femocrats, they are doing nothing but demogoguing, it's all they know how to do. If those elite, "educated" mental duds spent as much time on a real solution as they spend trying to cover up their last lie, we'd be done with the budget already.

TREELIAR Obama is the villian, he is the crook, he is the imposter that is hell-bent to bring down America. But America is not a country, it's not the government, it's the PEOPLE...the one last hurdle that even obama can't fight.

Let’s poll our teenagers:

Which parent is better:

1) Mom who borrowed from your college fund to give you a really cool car and told you to go have fun.

2) Dad who told you to go get a job.

Principal, principal, principal.
If you have ANY “principal” you are a self serving jerk.

See the Liberal handbook on “Conventional thinking”.

That it's only 55% against GOP on CNN is almost a victory.

It may, however, reflect the pitifully poor ability of Republicans to articulate their message.
