More Bad News For Liberal Democrats....








According to Rasmussen;

Voters Trust Republicans More On 10 Top Issues



For the first time in recent years, voters trust Republicans more than Democrats on all 10 key electoral issues regularly tracked by Rasmussen Reports. The GOP holds double-digit advantages on five of them.


Incredibly enough, just a year after the worst fiscal disaster since the Carter administration, Republicans have nearly doubled their lead over Democrats on economic issues to 49% to 35%, after leading by eight points in September.


The GOP also holds a 54% to 31% advantage on national security issues and a 50% to 31% lead on the handling of the war in Iraq.


Even on the highly contentious issue of health care, voters now give the edge to Republicans 46% to 40%.

On tax policy, Republicans are now ahead of Democrats an astounding 50% to 35%, nearly doubling their September lead on the issue.

Voters trust Republicans more on Social Security by a 45% to 37% margin.

Republicans lead on the issue of education 43% to 38%.

Voters also trust Republicans more on the handling of abortion 47% to 35%.


Ethics is the one issue that voters seem less sure which party they trust more to handle government ethics and corruption, an issue that passed the economy in voter importance last month. Thirty-three percent (33%) trust Republicans more while 29% have more confidence in Democrats. Another 38% are undecided.

According to Rasmussen,
Republicans even enjoy a seven-point lead on the issue of immigration.

Worse still for Liberals approaching 2010,
according to Rasmussen's results, "The GOP advantage over Democrats increased from two points to five in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot. Forty-two percent (42%) would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate while 37% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent...and while "a lot can happen over the next twelve months," we seem to be headed in a very bad direction. I'm betting those numbers only trend worse for the Liberals over that period.
