Voters Concerns

They just released the Pew Research Centers polls -- which mirror the Rasmussen polls that voters concerns are changing-- and that voters are definitely upset with the current leadership....

The public continues to express more confidence in the Democratic Party than in the Republican Party as being able to bring about needed change, to govern in an honest and ethical way and to manage the federal government. The Democratic Party's advantages on these traits are much wider than during the last presidential campaign. Moreover, they remain about as large as they were just prior to the 2006 midterm election, in spite of rising public discontent with the Democrat-led Congress.

The voters' issues agenda also appears to benefit the Democrats. Along with Iraq, the economy, health care and education rate as the most important issues for voters. Compared with the 2004 campaign, fewer voters now place great importance on the issues that have animated Republican political unity in recent years – including gay marriage, abortion and terrorism.

I find it interesting that in 2003 42% of voters identified themselves as Republican or leaning Republican while now after King Georges reign only 36% do---- and now 50% identify themselves as Democrats or leaning Democrat-- compared to 44% in 2003....

Also the GOP frustration with the frontrunners which shows 44% would support a third party candidate--with a solid majority of Republican white evangelicals (55%) saying they would at least consider voting for a conservative third-party candidate if the general election is between Giuliani and Clinton....

It's even worse news for the GOP if you look at how young people are trending, first, second time voters. They're more and more identifying themselves with Democrats. Look at Ron Paul. He's almost totally supported by young, college age people. They are Republicans, but are rejecting the mainstream candidates. Where will they go when/if Paul isn't their candidate? Then there are the minority groups. Republicans had made some inroads into the Hispanic bloc until this year. Blacks were starting to flirt with them, but Katrina killed that love affair. Arab Americans? Forget it. Even some of the big mega churches are starting to reject the limited Repulican agenda, gays, guns, abortion.

well, I look at cold war Russia, and see nothing I like. so to vote Dem, is to take a step in that direction, so I will hang out here on the side where there is no taxes, personal responsibility, and people unclouded with environmental bullbutter

You might want to go out and talk to some young people...

when it comes to actual issues and their Political picks stance... most give you a blank stare...

I see some are engaged and understand what is going on...but when you ask if they are registered to vote... most give you a blank stare...

they talk online...they go to rallies...but sadly (for the dems) many don't vote..

at least until they see what is truely happening,..then most have been mugged by reality of the dems' aganda, and vote conservative...
