Attn2 45% Suspect Obama Team Involved in Blagojevich Scandal

45% Suspect Obama Team Involved in Blagojevich Scandal

Rasmussen Reports™: The most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a presidential election.

Forty five percent (45%) of U.S. voters say it is likely President-elect Obama or one of his top campaign aides was involved in the unfolding Blagojevich scandal in Illinois, including 23% who say it is Very Likely.

Just 11% say it is not at all likely, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey taken Thursday and Friday nights

45+23= a whopping 68% think the obama camp were involved...


only 11% say not likley at all...



Are 68% of the people wrong? What do you think?

Re: 45% Suspect Obama Team Involved in Blagojevich Scandal

It's funny how in the article they keep refering to the statistics as "US voters". The people they actually do call do not represent all US voters. They represent the people who actually take time to take those telephone surveys and cannot be used as a whole or their answers as the full truth.

Oh indeed. Polls are for strippers. I found this one quite humorous though....


I have never been polled, and If I was I'd prolly just hang up.

I don't see why you're so interested in this. Politicians in the US have been corrupt since it was founded, and Chicago's the first place you should expect this kind of thing.

Most people are so retarded that all you have to do it repeatedly put two names together in the same sentence and they'll believe they're connected. Sort of like the 9/11-Saddam syndrome.

The Raw Story | Number of Americans who believe Saddam-9/11 tie rises to 41 percent

Hmm, it may be as simple as the percentage of retarded Americans hovering in the low to mid forties.

Re: 45% Suspect Obama Team Involved in Blagojevich Scandal

What I do find interesting is the left wingers here acting as if the obama camp had no involvement in this scandal as if it were proven fact yet.


True believers?

Is there any evidence that Obama is involved?
