This poll spells long term doom for the Republican party. The young people of today have completely rejected the politics of the right wing. And as the older people who buy into their ludicrous […]

The latest DailyKos polling makes it more clear than ever that the Republicans have become a regional party with no significant support outside of the south.
“According to this tracker, the GOP has a net favorability of +14 in the South. In the rest of the nation, their “next-best” region is the West, where the […]

Media Matters makes the point that the mainstream media has been skewing the debate on health care reform by insinuating that the “public option” that President Obama supports is not popular with Americans and that the “public option” is the “liberal position” (it’s not, it is a compromise, the true liberal position is “single payer.”)
The […]

A new poll from Fox News has the Republican party at record low favorable rating at just 36% (with 53% unfavorable) while President Obama has a 62% favorable rating in the poll. The President’s unfavorable rating is at just 33%.
In a direct comparison with the Democratic party, the Republican party lags considerably. The Democratic […]

Today’s Gallup national tracking poll shows movement back towards Obama. His lead among registered voters is back up to 9% points (it fell to 7% yesterday.)

A Pew Research national poll (1,325 registered voters) has Barack Obama ahead of John McCain 52% to 36% and perhaps even more impressively, Obama holds a 53% to 34% lead in their poll among those who have already voted (15% of the sample.)
