[seafan]

Rasmussen Reports, Wednesday, September 24, 2008

50% say let companies go bankrupt; 30% say step in; 20% are unsure. These numbers are moving very quickly.


And these new numbers were taken last night, BEFORE John McCain's derailing of the negotiations on the Hill today. He will pay dearly for that maneuver.


Maintain heavy pressure on our Congress members, people.

1. If most oppose it, won't the voters be happy he derailed it?

5. McCain and the GOP opposition are suggesting more tax cuts and deregulation. Who is surprised?

The Republican lawmakers instead offered a plan calling for Wall Street firms to purchase insurance on mortgage-backed securities and advocating tax cuts and relaxed regulations.

McCain is playing Russian roulette.

7. Not suprised. But it is, in a way, breathtaking.

You would think, just maybe, that utter failure would cause some of them to start to question their ideology.

2. Was this before or after Bush's doom and gloom speech?

:shrug:

3. Not sure... tomorrow's numbers ought to be interesting. n/t

4. Know what? I've been really thinking 'screw it' lately, just let it fail epically!

These people are a selfish bunch of users and posers that had no intention of sharing any profits on the way up; but want everyone else's money to save their sorry asses on the way down. They could have invested all that money not in mortgages...but renewable energy. tech, something anything that would have generated wealth and jobs but they did not. America could have been a leader once again but no we she is a debtor thanks to these lazy thinkers.

6. Agreed, bridgit. Yesterday, I started thinking 'let 'em collapse'.

This whole rush job just before this election, by the same liars who have beaten us down, deserve no more from us.

8. UPDATE Friday night: Only 24% support bailout plan.

Rasmussen poll, taken Friday night, September 26, 2008.

Just 24% of U.S. voters now favor the plan first proposed by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson a week ago and the subject of very public negotiations on Capitol Hill ever since, according to a Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey taken Friday night. Fifty percent (50%) oppose it, and 25% are undecided.

50% opposed
24% support
25% unsure


More of those who supported it 3 days ago have now moved into the undecided category.


This trend is only going to accelerate.
