64% disapproval

[LDB]

Rasmussen poll today says 64% rate the congress overall as poor and disapprove of the job they are doing. Pretty telling and surprising it isn't more like 75%.

Not really .... the other 36% aren't even watching or paying attention ..... in fact, I'm surprised that 64% were ....

Actually, your guess was only off by 2%. The Real Clear Politics average of polls taken on Congressional approval shows a 77% DISAPPROVAL RATING.

On the same site you'll find that 50.2% disapprove of the health care bill while 39.7% approve - a pretty significant difference, and they crammed it down our throats anyway.

well with the 20% of the population being the do or die left that thinks the Dem's are always right so that only levels 2% not watching right now.

But that 77% number will have exiguous meaning if we re-elect our present Representatives the Dem's are hoping for the normal poor fallow through of the American public. In other words there could be a big difference between just dissatisfied and how ticked off we are.

Exiguous? Wonder how many readers had to run for their dictionaries for that one?

Not really..if there is the usual 3% error margin it could be as little as only 5%...and thats amazing OR it could be as much as 17% even at extremes 17% is not that huge a difference

I'm not following your figures, but in political polls, 17% is a really big difference - like landslide difference.

The numbers you posted is 10.5%...thats way too close if as many people that are claimed to be against it...

I would bet if the forced purchase part was dropped it would be pretty darned close...

pollsters want you to believe that's huge but when error margins are near 5% as most are, some claim 3% but i think that more positive thinking on there part and nothing scientific based

It only takes about 10% to start a revolution. Our Constitution is in the greatest danger it has faced in the last 60 years. Wake up or be controlled. Only fools allow something as foolish as a government to control them. Imagine, asking to be a slave to the few.
