A new CNN poll has yet more bad news for the Republican Party, directly contradicting recent declarations that they represent the American people with their attacks on President Obama and the less popular Democratic leadership in Congress.
The poll asked this straightforward question: “Do you think the policies being proposed by Barack Obama will move the country in the right direction or the wrong direction?” The answer was right direction 63%, wrong direction 35%.
Then two similar questions were asked about Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress, one half of respondents being asked about the Dems and the other half asked about the GOP. “Do you think the policies being proposed by the Democratic leaders in the U.S. House and Senate would move the country in the right direction or the wrong direction?” The answer here was right direction 57%, wrong direction 40% — lagging a bit behind Obama, but still more than solid.
As for this one: “Do you think the policies being proposed by the Republican leaders in the U.S. House and Senate would move the country in the right direction or the wrong direction?” The result here was right direction 39%, wrong direction 53%.
