Not really. The question is pretty vague, it doesn't address anything specific. An Obama voter could hear the question and think "No, those darned Republicans are screwing up everything! We're not going in right direction!" A Romney voter might think "No, the gay agenda is pushing forward. Moving in the wrong direction!" while another Romney voter might think "Yeah, those Democrats are losing power! Right direction!"

You are making a huge assumption that a Obama voter can think............
 
Huh. I thought only adults could serve in the Navy.

Stop by my Fleet Reserve Lodge some 4th Thursday of any month and tell my Lodge Brothers that......Thanks
 
wow, you REALLY hate President Obama. I mean passionately hate this man.

I hate no one.....That is not what my church teaches me...........I just want him gone before he destroys this country...........

does your church teach you to harp on someone's ethnic heritage as a way to attack & defame them?

Someone PM me when NP makes a political post telling us what he is for... and I don't mean some back-handed way of saying "I'm for Obama losing." I mean... when he is actually FOR something.

Those 30% are both right and wrong. As long as we have such a polarized government, we as a nation will never be moving in the right direction. On the other hand, quite a bit has been accomplished.

Furthermore, how would a telephone survey be anywhere near accurate. I have probably hung up on that survey 30 times. They are annoying and a pester.

Why do I bother with you?????????? calling someone by their given name is not defaming them.............Mine is Gabriel....you can call me that all you want.........Now I am finished with you on this nonsense.....

First of all both parties run telephone surveys all the time...........We have a polarized Gov. because the HOR has passed over 100 bills and they have been table by Reid who won't even let them come to the floor for a vote............There are a lot of democrats in the senate who would vote for some of those bills because they are in red states and fear losing their seat...........

I never questioned partisanship of the survey. And it isn't all one man's fault. There 535 congressman and they all are to blame.

That shouldn't be the reason to vote for something. The only reason that a Congressman ought to vote for something is if they believe that it will better their country. Opposed to popular belief, being a successful politician is not about building the strongest career, but the strongest nation

it is if you leave out their first name and focus on their middle name, to insinuate a connection to a brutal dictator and Islam.

All the HOR can do is pass the bills to the senate but when Reid tables over 100 bills and will not bring them to the floor for political reasons it causes gridlock.

Are you really that naive to believe that?????

This must be the percentage of working-age Americans who still have living-wage jobs. :(

Reid has to go.

You cannot blame political gridlock on one man alone. Others can work to stop any political gridlock. Pressure and monetary deductions are a very quick and easy way to do so.

That is far from naive. The greatest politicians are not the ones that work solely for their careers. We remember presidents such as LBJ, Reagan, FDR, TR, and others because they make bold actions that could jeopardize their career.

Next to the POTUS Reid is the most important person in this country..........all bills come across his desk....If he does not like them or agree with them he simply tables them and will not bring them to the floor for a vote........He is afraid to bring bills like the budget to the floor because he knows a lot of his own caucas would vote for it.

Then the rest of the Congressman ought to bring him in to make an agreement that everybody likes. That is the point of compromise

You can't compromise on something that you can't debate on in the first place.......
