Since fff likes polls let's look at the Rasmussen poll for today

First Obama has slipped another 3 points and is at -8 today. ouch :wink:

Second according to this poll the economy is very important to 81%.
While 39% feel Obama is good at the economy, only 30% trust him with the economic crisis. Add to that 46% trust the GOP with the economy while only 41% trust the Dems. That must hurt the chosen one ego :wink:

National Security is very important to 58%, with 40% trusting the Dems on the issue while 49% trust the GOP and only 42% trust Obama with National Security.

Let's look at taxes, 54% feel they are very important, Only 10% feel taxes will go down AND while 36% trust the Dems on taxes, 52% trust the GOP. Add to that 73% believe government spending is going to go up. Could this be why the majority don't trust Obama and the Dems with the economy? Oh another smack to the pride :wink:

National Tracking: Taxes
Tax Increases Help or Hurt Economy?

Tax Cuts Help or Hurt Economy?

Increases in Gov't Spending Help or Hurt Economy?

Health care is another hot issue but only 49% find it very important with 46% trusting the Dems on the issue while 42% trust the GOP.
Wonder what these numbers will be if people start getting taxed on their health care benefits? :?
