A large majority of Americans believe that Republican congressional leaders should not have invited Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to speak to Congress without consulting the White House, a new CNN/ORC survey release on Tuesday found.

Time for one of those “Man on the Street” segments. Someone is bound to say “The leader of Japan in World War 2?” or something similar.

Oppose away, it's not their decision.

tomorrow CNN will have a poll showing the GOP is to blame for the cold weather and snow in the northeast...

Is this the same poll that was off by 12% during the midterms?
