On Social Security: Nation Prefers Dems over GOP by 50-31

From a NYTimes Poll in tomorrow's paper:

Four months after Mr. Bush won a solid re-election over Senator John Kerry, 63 percent of respondents say the president has different priorities on domestic issues than most Americans. Asked to choose among five domestic issues facing the country, respondents rated Social Security third, behind jobs and health care. And nearly 50 percent said Democrats were more likely to make the right decisions about Social Security, compared with 31 percent who said the same thing about Republicans.
More good news in the poll:


And Mr. Bush does not appear to be much more in step with the nation on what the White House has long viewed as his strong suit: 58 percent of respondents said the White House did not share the foreign affairs priorities of most Americans.
Ok, disagree on domestic policy. And disagree on foreign policy. So why this?


For all that, Mr. Bush's approval rating remains unchanged, at 49 percent, from a month ago, suggesting that the disagreement with Mr. Bush's ideas has yet to take a toll on America's view of him.
It's the 'having a beer with him' thing. Gotta be.

The Corporate Cartel Media has an "blatant opportunity" to share "this message" with Americans ..... but they won't.

What does Faux show....a Pew Research Poll saying bush and dems believability is about the same.

1. "solid reelection"

Um, didn't Bush win just by 3% (51% to 48%). If Bush had lost 2 points to Kerry, he would have lost the whole thing. Hardly a "solid win."

2. NPR says Bush will make 60 stops in 60 days to push his dismantling of SS

NPR says Bush will make 60 stops in 60 days to push his dismantling of SS. I imagine it will be the usual routine: fake crowds, fake questions and fake press coverage all designed to appear like there is "wild enthusiasm" for the abolishment of Social Security.

I wonder if they'll edit out the chants of, "Hey Hey Ho Ho Social Security's got to go!"
