US Public Trusts Dems More On All Ten “Key” Issues
Written by Mark Harris on May 24th, 2007According to a newly released poll by Rasmussen Reports, the American public trusts Democrats more than Republicans on ten key issues. The most overwhelming being healthcare where 57% of Americans trust Democrats while only 30% of Americans trust Republicans, but healthcare has been for sometime a Democrat strength. Take two bread and butter Republican issues: taxes and defense. 46% of Americans trust Democrats on national security while only 43% trust Republicans, on taxes 47% of Americans trust Democrats and only 42% of Americans trust Republicans. Also the number of self identifying Republicans is at an all time low of 31% while 36% are Democrats and 32.4% are independents, a record high number of independents.
All in all should be a real lesson to the GOP that they are far, far, far from out of the woods yet.

Can you blame the average joe? Look at the boob in the WH and the clowns running amuck in Congress. I don’t self identify at a republican either these days.
I think this is most folks way of punishing the GOP for being so stupid and arrogant. They know in their heart of hearts that the Democrats are hopeless but they feel they have no choice after being dicked over by the GOP for the last decade or so.
