Including health care:
For the first time in over two years of polling, voters trust Republicans slightly more than Democrats on the handling of the issue of health care. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that voters favor the GOP on the issue 44% to 41%.
Democrats held a four-point lead on the issue last month and a 10-point lead in June. For most of the past two years, more than 50% of voters said they trusted Democrats on health care. The latest results mark the lowest level of support measured for the party on the now-contentious issue.
If you look in to the full poll, you’ll see that the GOP and Democrats are tied on Iraq. The one issue voters trust Democrats on over the GOP is – believe it or not – “government ethics” by a 34/31 margin. This shows how badly we blew it when our Congressional GOP became part of the problem in DC – we’ll a long time getting over that and the only sure cure is to gain power and then go after corruption root and branch in DC, letting the chips fall where they may.
We lost the trust of the American people and we deserved to lose it – we lost our way and became part of the problem. We became, that is, just like the Democrats. Now that the people are getting a refresher course in just how horrible Democrat government is, their trust is swinging towards us…but we still have to earn it, and then carry out our duty, no matter how hard it is. If we can show that we’re trust worthy, we’ll be rewarded with a generation of power with which to remake America back towards the constitutional republic it was always meant to be.
