The Most Important Poll You Will EVER See

From CNN, and lord knows I don’t cite CNN often.

Washington (CNN) – A majority of Americans think the federal government poses a threat to rights of Americans, according to a new national poll.

Fifty-six percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday say they think the federal government’s become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens. Forty-four percent of those polled disagree.

The survey indicates a partisan divide on the question: only 37 percent of Democrats, 63 percent of Independents and nearly 7 in 10 Republicans say the federal government poses a threat to the rights of Americans.

I don’t like polls. I find that they are far too heavily relied on, and they can be very easily skewed, simply by cherry-picking respondents and asking misleading questions. But given that this is a CNN poll, a network that clearly showed bias before, during, and after the 2008 election, I’m tending towards listening to this one.

56%. A higher margin than Obama won to become leader of the free world. Obama only won by 7%, and yet the left likes to call it a landslide, a mandate from the masses. Okay, fine. By all means then, let’s call that a landslide. So what shall we make of a 12% difference in this poll? Is this not a landslide? Is this not a mandate?

Well over half the country believes that our government poses an IMMEDIATE DANGER to us. This poll means that over half the country DOES NOT TRUST that the current administration has our best interests in mind. I can not believe that any of those 56% believe that a government that is a danger to them trusts that same government with health care, or Cap and Trade, Stimulus, Porkulus, Jobulus, ANY of it.

There is going to be a major change, come November. As I have said before, and this poll certainly leads me to believe I’m on the money, 2010 is going to be a really bad year to be a Democrat or Republican incumbent. Those folks need to start polishing their resumés.  They’ve lost touch with the American people; perhaps they’ll get to know a few of them better when they’re in the Unemployment line.
