Pollster: Do you seriously expect me to believe a poll from these idiots?

I am sorry, but this would be about as pointless as a Moveon.org poll. The Margin of error should be about 15 points.

What poll is next, the Limbaugh poll? Why don't you put that on?

We need to have a northern Progressive leadership conference up here in VT or Mass. We need to let the country know that the confederates were terrorists who tried to break away from our country. In my book, if reconstruction had been harsher, they could have gotten re-educated, and Northern troops could have stayed about 10 years longer.

In Germany, they at least got some serious lessons that the holocaust and their desire to believe in cultural superiority was not okay. Germany decries a lot of the racial hatred and superiority yet they can have confederate history day and not even mention slavery.

I wish the confederacy could be destroyed forever and any kind of free expression is okay in my opinion other than a swastika or the confederate flag. They were never a legitimate government to begin with, and it is important the confederacy stays that way.

Just to clarify what I meant, Germany has admitted to injustice in their past, yet the confederacy is still celebrated as legitimate. What I meant, is that in Germany there has been responsibility to come to grips with their anti-semitic past, yet, there is a huge tolerance for racism in America.

This is an SLRC poll using a RV sample and yet it finds results considerably lower than every other poll.

Why does pollster report this kind of non-sense?

I would have to agree with my liberal companions. This poll belongs in outliers.

Egads! Was this sample taken at the SRLC?

Hey, if DailyKOS polls are posted, then why not WRS or whatever the heck this company is. Regardless, all polls point to peril for Dems in 2010! 58% want repeal of Obamacare, CNN even has Obama at 45-48 approve/disapprove.

Health care polls 3 weeks after being signed are pointless. Congress has not been in session for 2 weeks and even if any elements of Obama's health care are indeed repealed, there will be about 70 percent of the things in that that most Americans want. Who wants to be denied due to a pre-existing condition? Who wouldn't like more competition?

I am willing to bet, that many more progressive or even moderate voters refused to take part in this poll.

Daily Kos is not represenative of the Democratic party, they just happen to operated by progressives, just like Rasmussen is a conservaive. Most people who are called by Daily Kos won't automatically know they are liberal, but if a group calls themselves the Southern Republican leadership, they probably simply hang up if they disdain them.

"Republican Party: 47 / 42"

That's just laughable.

Most sensible and rational people didn't even participate in this poll

Shannon,Dallas,Texas:
"Republican Party: 47 / 42"

That's just laughable.

No, the truth is that the GOP is way more unfavorable than the Democrats; this poll is a serious joke. Nevertheless, the public has the GOP leading in the generic ballot. I guess they don't like the current elected officials like Boehner and Mcconnell very much, but it is the party they want more of in congress. It is unfortunate but typical of the way many morons in America think.

farleft - Nobody even knows who the GOP leadership is. More people have heard of Reid than have heard of Mcconnell. And the GOP has been trending upward in favorability while the Dems downward.

The trends are quite clear. Dems are trending down, the GOP is trending up. Obama is hitting new lows with many pollsters, including Gallup's tracker where he is at his worst right now.

Though it pains you to hear....its not a matter of IF HCR is repealed, its when...and it will be January 21st 2012. The repeal and replace stratgy will owrk and huge numbers want HCR repealed as it was constructed by Dems.

Politics is all about trends....2006 and 2008 was all trending to Dems, 2010 is trending to GOP. There are libs out there who are in total SHOCK that O is this unpopular right now...no one ever expected him to be down this low at this point. And they are in SHOCK that their signature issue, HC is so wildly unpopular with the majoirty of Americans. But these are the types of numbers you start seeing when you try and govern a center-right nation form the hard left.......the trend against Dems will grow and get stronger in the coming months.

You do realize that a repeal is going to have to beat a filibuster, Stillow? Well most of the bill anyways. No way in hell Republicans are getting 60 seats by 2012.

They will use reconciliation to get rid of it. The Dems opened the door wide open for doing that. So it passed with reconciliation and it will be repealed with the same method.

This is all assuming the scotus doesn't throw it out first which I think is highly likely.

Given at the point it becomes part of the general budget a reconciliation process cannot be used to repeal health care. Sort of like how you can't repeal Medicare or Medicaid with it.

X - I saw an interview with Senator Kyl who was talking about this and he said that yes it can be done...the language woudl be tricky, but he said they were actually already looking at the early language they would need to do it when the time comes. In addition he did mention the obvious that the GOP would simply defund the netire thing if they gain power in one of the chambers.

@Stillow

"In addition he did mention the obvious that the GOP would simply defund the netire thing if they gain power in one of the chambers."

How? By instituting a government shutdown like in 1995? It didn't exactly work as planned last time, so I doubt they'd try it again. Also bear in mind that even if they took majorities in both houses they couldn't get past a presidential veto until 2013 at the earliest.

And on top of that, whenever they do take control of congress/the presidency again they'll likely just change the source of funding for the it rather than getting rid of it entirely. I can't really see them mustering a lot of votes for re-enabling health coverage denial based on pre-existing conditions.

Wow. Finally an accurate poll. Its about time.

If you post all that liberal phony-baloney made-up polls and polls like the Harris online poll where they paid people to pretend they were republicans you have to counter it with some precision polls like this.

You can tell its a good poll because farlleftandproud is really foaming at the mouth over this one. So he's using terms like nazis, confederate terrorists, racists, slavery proponents, white supremacists, and morons. Yep - he's pulled out all the stops in his typical liberal intolerance and hatred of conservatives.

Thanks, pollster.com. I'm looking forward to seeing more polls like this one.

"They will use reconciliation to get rid of it. The Dems opened the door wide open for doing that. So it passed with reconciliation and it will be repealed with the same method.

Most of the bill was not in the reconciliation fix. Part of me almost hopes Republicans do get in the majority because they are not going to be able to remove this bill and it's going to be nice to see the conservatives who put them in office freak out.
