Most Voters Still See Congressional Democrats As More Liberal Than They Are Thursday, January 13, 2011 Email to a Friend ShareThis.AdvertisementVoters continue to believe the average Democrat in Congress is more liberal than they are, but remain more evenly divided about Republicans. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 57% of Likely Voters say the average Democrat in Congress is more liberal than they are. Only eight percent (8%) see the average Democrat as being more conservative, while 28% say the ideological views are about the same. (To see survey question wording, click here.) Those findings are little changed from August of last year, when 56% said the average Congressional Democrat was more liberal than they are. By comparison, 38% of voters now say the average Republican congressman is more conservative than they are, while 24% see most Republicans as being more liberal. Twenty-eight percent (28%) say the average GOP congressman shares about the same ideology as they do. Another 10% are undecided. (Want a free daily e-mail update?

The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters U.S. Voters was conducted on January 9-10, 2011 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology. However, while 57% of Democrats say their party’s congressmen share the same views as they do, only 36% of Republicans say the same of their party’s leaders. Thirty-seven percent (37%) of GOP voters say the average Republican in Congress is more liberal than they are. Among voters not affiliated with either major political party, a majority (64%) sees the average Democrat as being more liberal than they are, while a plurality (43%) believes the average GOP congressman is more conservative. A majority of Political Class voters (63%) sees Republicans in Congress as being more conservative than they are, but just 33% of mainstream voters agree. While 62% of mainstream voters see Democrats as being more liberal, only 35% of Political Class voters feel the same way. Recent polling also shows that Voters continue to feel the Republican agenda in Congress is less extreme than that of congressional Democrats. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of voters think it is at least somewhat likely that most voters will be disappointed with Republicans in Congress before the 2012 elections. Even more (82%) expect most voters to be disappointed in congressional Democrats, still in control of the Senate, by the time the next national elections come around. In June of last year, 72% of Republican voters continue to believe that GOP members of Congress have lost touch with the party base throughout the nation over the past several years. Republicans hold an 11-point lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot, the widest gap between the two parties since right before Election Day. While voters were highly critical of the previous Congress, they also are pessimistic about the new Congress. Voters still expect government spending, taxes and the deficit to go up over the next two years.

He doesn't buy it himself; but he will sell it to the general public as necessary for their protection. This f'ing bus is totally out of control.

Most Say Stricter Gun Laws Would Not Help Prevent Shootings Thursday, January 13, 2011 Email to a Friend ShareThis.Most Americans say stronger gun control laws are not the answer to the shootings last weekend of a U.S. congresswoman and the killing of six others. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, taken Monday and Tuesday nights, finds that only 29% of Adults think stricter gun control laws would help prevent shootings like the one in Arizona last Saturday. Sixty-two percent (62%) disagree and say stronger gun control would not make a difference. (To see survey question wording, click here.) Among those who have a gun in their household, 76% say stricter gun control laws would not help, a view shared by a plurality (48%) of those without a gun in the house. Despite Saturday’s tragedy, opposition to gun control is at a new high. Thirty-six percent (36%) say the United States needs stricter gun control laws, but 56% don’t share that belief and oppose stronger anti-gun laws. Previously, opposition to more gun control has ranged from a high of 51% in July of last year to a low of 37% in April 2007 following the killings at Virginia Tech. Seventy-three percent (73%) of those who say someone in their household owns a gun oppose stricter gun control laws. Fifty-three percent (53%) of those without a gun in the house favor stricter laws.

Yes, once again, the actions of an radical Left-wing extremist will result in punishment for law-abiding normal people, as predicted.

Yes, I can see it all now: The next Jared Lee Loughner-type crazy person is listening to satanic music while packing up his gun and clips as he thinks "I want to keel that beetch and everyone around her, including children." Then the lightbulb goes off in crazy-person's mind, BOING! He thinks: "Wait, I can't do that, they passed gun-control laws that make it illegal for anyone to own and/or carry a gun. I sure don't want to break any laws, so I better throw this gun and ammunition away before I get arrested. Now what other weapon could I use to keel that beetch? Aw, yes...that will do it." When I see PIGS flying over the Santa Cruz Mountains, killers, thieves and rapists will care about gun laws. How stoopid are these libs? .
