Liberalism! What a loverly word!

Conservatism – sounds like dinosaurs to me!

GO BLUE!

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. This is Pre- Stimulus or should I say Pre-Spending.

Hey Matt!

Obama is a big spender? You should look up the Reagan, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. deficit spending. It makes Obama's plan look very small.

How soon we forget. What ever happened to Conservative principles which influenced me from 1976-96. The party sold out to the bigoted social conservative movement. The Republican party of which I once believed and supported, is dead. R.I.P.

P.S. I hope Rush fails!! He should go the way of Imus.

We have a new governor in Arizona replacing Janet Napolitano and she is a Republican, her name, Jan Brewer. Now she is blaming the huge deficit in state funds on Janet when in reality it was caused by the last eight years of bush economics and the first thing she wants to do is cut education funds in our state by 40% and we are behind the rest of country already in educational spending. This is the republican way, tax breaks for corporations, no money for education. Oh and by the way we recently built a huge new football stadium, tax funded of course, but our schools can crumble and it doesn't matter.

I am amazed at how many of the right wing comments are either misspelled or simply grammatically incorrect. The problem with you people is that you hide behind your religion and guns when you need to be hiding behind your books! ( :
Republicans in general hide behind fear and hatred. Screw 'em.

"If the American people had any sense, they would clean out the House, Congress, etc. – We need to start over. People of America, for the people of America – not one party against the other. We need Americans. We need people in these seats that are common, ordinary people with intelligence, COMMON SENSE, and people that love the USA."

AMEN!

"Politicians and diapers need to be changed regularly - and for the same reason"

Personally, I'm tired of all this. No wonder people are eating bullets at every turn. Enough CNN....your guy won. We get it.

I will call it now. Republicans will take back the congress in 2010. What have the democrats done since being in control? Aside from daily gossip, attacks on Bush and terrible policies they have done absolutely nothing. Lately Americans have bought into the crap, but we usually wise up later on. Americans will wise up and get the likes of Pelosi, Reid and Frank out of office.

@ Anonymous

Great idea! I hope we can make it happen. Where do we start?

(although I believe ousting Pelosi would make for a great beginning)

Apparently any comments critical of Obama and the Democrats are not fit to print. If I say Obama is great (fingers crossed), will you print this?

Based on the way the dimocrats are starting, this will change regardless of the sheep followers.

It is too early to tell what 2010 will be like, but coming events usually cast their shadows.

The republican policy has been hatred. They purport to fight fundamentalists when they are the fundamentalists. They claim they stand for fiscal responsibility and they blow up the deficit. They back small government and under their control, the government blew up with bureaucracy and special interests. Now in the midst of the greatest chaos this country has witnessed in a life time, their party has completely folded with a total lack of leadership and direction. Is the best they can muster Sarah Palin? The GOP is dead, you betcha.

how does a democratic house and congress since 06' have a worse approval rating than BUSH? but yet it is forecasted that they will stay in office in 2010?

and do it by work, research and serving you country

no buddy buddy deals a la Cheney, no name calling 'un patriotic' a la Bush, no violating internation war rules a la gonzalos... the list goes on

Most of the Obama's voters did not even know the democrats ran congress the last 2 years of the Bush administration. Maybe they will finally learn alitte history and then make decisions on who to vote for: Dems=Welfare State: Repubs= Self Responsibility.

Are we surprised???

NEWS FLASH TO REPUBLICANS:

YOU LOST BECAUSE YOU SPEWED HATE... LIES.... DIVISION AND FEAR!

WE, THE PEOPLE, REJECT YOUR VILE POLITICS!

Perhaps one of the things that drove the Repubs down the ditch is the hypocrisy of claiming to be a small government, non-interference party, despite the fact that they want government bans on abortion, government control of civil unions & same-sex marriage, & interference in international conflicts abroad. God willing that this is the beginning of a separation of the party, the right-wing Conservative zealots on one hand, & and Conservative Libertarians on the the other. Perhaps we will see a rise in Libertarianism in the next years, as disheartened Republicans just may flock to this party.

there's too many RACIST in the republican party, get rid of limbaugh, palin, try listening to the majority of American voters for a change.

If House Republicans continue their "Just say no" policy of the first few days in this Congress, I'd venture to say they will continue to dig the hole they are in deeper.

MAYDAY, MAYDAY, REPUBLICAN PARTY ..... GOING DOWN !!!!

If the Republicans have not seen the negative impact of divisive politics then they are in bad shape. The idea of my way or no way will not work. Both parties should find common ground on issues and work out the differences for the good of the country. I know that sounds too much like what they are suppose do but that is the only way that this country can move forward. The President is trying to show that his willing to work with the Republicans but have not caught on.

Arizona will make up for Illinois.

Marcia,
NAFTA had it's beginnings way back in 1993 when Bill Clinton signed it into effect, along with the presidents of Mexico and Canada. Of course, Mexico was the prime beneficiary with most all of our jobs heading south, so lets not blame Bush for that bit of monkey business.

Keep talking Rush, Hannity, and Coulters..... Your only doing us Dems a great favor.

These people should actually do a little work first.

@ NO TAXES AND WE'LL VOTE FOR YOU!: Even IF what you said were true, and it is most certainly not true...but we'll take it as truth for this exercise.....it is very amusing for me to point out to the likes of you that Obama is STILL much more successful that Bush. You neo-tards set the bar so very low by electing Bush, and then supporting him throughout all his abject failures, that if Obama stood on his head and wet himself it would be a significant step up. But you keep whining, we are used to hearing the mindless twitter from you vacuous wingnuts......you did it all through the '90s when America went through one of its most peaceful and economically successful periods in its history, led by a successful [D] president. Oops, looks like history is about to repeat itself!

You know, I've always been a democrat but I am seriously doubting that letting democrats have so much power is a good thing. I'm leaning farther and farther right since this last primary and the shanagins that have taken place with my party. I'm hoping some housecleaning takes place and our government becomes more bipartisan so that we can keep a happy medium. I'm really just thankful that I will never live long enough to have to see how in the world Obama's spending spree will be repaid. I'm also very thankful that I never had kids who will have to take on this debt. What are y'all going to do when China comes to "repossess' their collateral?

Please good people. Let us have reason and civil dialogue instead of this name calling and the expression of personal whim and opinion. The vitriole that occupies so large a space in so many of your diatribes is beneath you both as Americans and as persons. The lack of nuance conveyed in so many of these caricatures; the taking of hyperbole for the sober truth of the matter; these are beneath you as citizens. Are these on-line exchanges anything more than the internet, faceless version of a barroom brawl? It would seem not. I am saddened by the extraordinary amount of demonization–of predications beyond all reason. We can do better than this trite discussion. We can have a meaningful exchange. But to do that, we must not carry on like this. Perchance we could, as Madison once exhorted, harken the mild voice of reason gently pleading its case–perhaps we could find a way to hear that even in the tumult of the moment and even amid the loud clash of these name-calling exchanges.

Bravo Anonymous
You finnally said something that makes sense.

Do you just suppose that you could give a campaign weary populace a rest from this just for a little while???? We're sick and tired of hearing about campaigns. What we want to hear is what those people we elected the last time around are actually doing that's beneficial to their contituents!

I agree with Marcia Marcia Marcia

Even when news like this arrives, the GOP just ramps up the rhetoric and keeps doing all the things that got it such a thorough beatdown on November 4, 2008. Go figure. If they continue, come 2010, it's going to be a whole new round of "we told you so" and they'll just put their fingers in their ears and scream lalalalalalalalalalala like a bunch of babies all over again.

They need to focus on Arizona–I think the tide is turning

yeah, what America needs is more "quality," people like OBama, Pelosi and Reid....we need them like we need another recession.
The democrats had their chance, and what did they do? They INTENTIONALLY sank the entire economy of the country which also transcended to other regions of the world....in short, the DEMOCRATS PUT US IN FINANCIAL RUIN...merely to get their puppet candidate in office.....VOTE THEM OUT. It's a shame that we had enough corruption present to elect a dem president....but he'll go when his term is up to. Conservatives, we learned our lesson by staying home and not voting....the ill will of the democratic party coupled with the corruption spawned through Chicago to the White house...will cause havoc, but we must persevere, and start ousting them back to their sewers.

If the Republicans keep lining up with Rush Limbaugh they are going to isolate Middle America, if this stimulus package succeeds they are really going to be in big trouble. I'm an Independent, and it does not seem like the Republicans are going to change and I'm seriously considering becoming a Democrat.

The polling results are hardly a surprise. The republicans in office are mainly comprised of politicians whose IQ is roughly the equivalent of rotten fruit. People want leadership and they're being stuck with ineffective followers of Rush Limbaugh and the other right wing talking head trash. The phase out of republicans will continue in 2010.

a stupid poll given the fact the new President/Congress have not had time to get blamed/credit for anything yet.. basically it is repeating the last election

idiots

Getting a head start on the next election cycle CNN?? State run media at its worse...

I wonder why CNN didn't ask which party we would vote for if the economy hasn't recovered by then??

This story comes early, but gives a hint to the Repubs to prepare for potential losses. This country is sick to death of the republican credo of hate, greed, and selfishness.
I used to be a Rebublican until completely sickened by the Bush's, Rove, Mccain, Palin... the list goes on and on and on...

That Dem :lead" will evaporate as Obama screws up the economy with rampant INFLATION.

Historically, the party in the White House ALWAYS loses congessional seats in the midterm, regardless of the party.

There are only a small handful of exceptions to this historical trend.

The 2002 mid-terms come to mind, but that election was a mere 14 months after 9-11. The party in the White House would have bucked the trend that election cycle, regardless of whether it was Bush or Gore in the White House on 9-11.

Another worthless poll! That's what.. 2 or 3 this week? Few (dems or repubs) care about the 2010 election cycle right now. Don't we have an economic crisis TODAY? I want the House, Senate and President to get us moving again (smartly)! The 2010 will take care of it's self and hopefully, thisi time we will vote on merit and work rather than party and personality (wishful thinking).

@Dawn...well said! If our politicians were focused on what they were hired to do instead of worrying about whether they're going to be re-elected, our country would be in better shape. This goes for both democrats and republicans and is a good reason why there should be term limits for both congressmen and senators just like the rest of the political offices.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

Abe Lincoln must be spinning in his grave at the hate and malice the modern day republicans are showing. He literally saved this country from dividing and now with the likes of Rush, Hanninty, and the so called republican leadership, the country is dividing again. Why can't everyone think of what is best for the American people at this time and forget petty differences. I hope and pray that those who are so against this president will have the courage to say I am sorry when things get better if not for them, their friends and neighbors.

Forget about Rush, when he said he wished Obama failure, he sounded like Osama bin Laden. Don't trust Rush, he will sell our country out for another $7 million in his pocket.

Lynn in NM:

We don't need the media to tell us about Republicans. My wallet, my investments, and everything else that is wrong with this country tells me and everyone else enough. Are you wearing blinders? Unless you're dating a Wall Street banker, its been really rough. Perhaps you can pretend that it isn't that bad, but the rest of us won't delude ourselves.

Yeah! Grab those bibles closer and keep the repub party buried deep in the neo-con redneck territory. That's surely the ticket for growth!

Getting "back to basics" is what will win more Congressional seats in 2010, and please disregard all of these silly biased polls put out by the liberal media as it is just a conspiracy against family values!

Go Coulter/Palin 2012.

Please...

What a great poll...it show's how stupid some of our voters are. "I'm going to vote for the generic democrat." THIS is how idiots like Al Franken get into office and stay there.

Respect is what the Democratic party is made up of and a group of very well educated men and women who understand the new global technological world!!! THis republican voted for President Obama and will vote democratic in 2010 because the republican party just doesn't get it!!! And I'm 64 years and DO NOT want anyone any older than I am trying to care of me!!!

SquallCloud, you are absolutelly right ! Why pay attention to this idiot. Didn't they catch him with the suitcase of viagra? Didn't he brake the law stuffing himself with pain kilers? How you can even consider listening tis idiot – just do 'Sprigtime for Hitler' with him and ignore this pervert. Pettition – it is absud!

Thank God Americans still have a brain if we forgot the absolute destruction the Greedy Ole Party has brought to the US and world we would be idiots. And they continue with their toxic ideology in the face of Obama trying to repair their destruction – yet the new leader of their party the super obese lying drug addict rush is leading the organization of their stance. Then fresh from the tanning bed boner follows suit. It is disgusting and most Americans want to vomit so let's kick the rest of these hateful ideologues out. Then they can all get $400 million contracts in the private sector like fat liar.

I want to see an end to the GOP. These people should be ashame of themselves.

Obama in office only 8 days and he's funding murder for babies abroad, put a death nail in the big 3 auto makers with unreasonable cafe standards during a financial crisis, appointed a tax cheat as Sec. of the Treasury, apologized to the Muslim world for them attacking us, I'd say the Republican party will be back strong after a couple years of poor policy decisions like this.

Come on. I know there's a lot of money in the perpetual campaign cycle, but give it a rest, CNN. Polls now are irrelevant.

What do you want people? The Republican party has sworn allegiance to the far right and with that allegiance comes an ugly base that feeds off discord it holds principles of indifference, intolerance and malice

I miss the old Republicans that actually stood for low taxes smaller government and personal responsibility. They never had a problem picking up the minority vote.
That all changed as people like rush became the mouth piece of the party it became clear the party cared little for it's minority members and it's base is no friend of ours either

No this is nothing to celebrate after all now the intolerant have a Republican party to validate themselves this is a loss to America...

I can't believe people are stupid enough to back the same group that has done nothing for the last two years. Why don't we hear more about congress's approval rating?

I just want to ask Nancy P. to be a little more gracious and a little less cocky! She is going to ruin Pres. Obama's style with her need to gloat so much. I love you Nancy, but please be humble (or at least fake it), so that we can take more Republican seats in 2010 and 2012!

Dear RJN and LetFreedomRing-

Criticize the Liberals all you want but at least the majority of us are college educated. Meaning we can spell and use proper grammar. Check your postings. BTW, we prefer the term progessive. As in looking forward toward progess. This is in direct opposition to you Republicans that want to bury your head in the sand and pray nothing every changes in Mayberry. Must be pretty in your world.

Give me a break. Two years of campaigning and polls for the last presidential election was enough to last me a life time. Doesn't this crap ever end.

The Republicans should shut up and say something. If they have a better way, then they have a President that's actually willing to listen. Say Something concrete and what you propose. Instead it's negative this and negative that. To have an ignorant loudmouth like Rush Limpballs say he hopes Obama fails sums up the attitude of the Repubs and all their hopes for winning anything in 2010-2012. Maybe drugs will help the bulk of the Rush listeners like they obviously continue to help him?

For good reason not to trust these rats anymore.

Watching the House debates over the stimulus, the republicans talk about the future burdern on future children. I am just wondering who they were thinking about when voting on sending billions of dollars and jobs overseas during the Bush administrations.

The problem that the republicans continue to have is that tax breaks/tax cuts is their solution for every problem. TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS doesn't work: it never has and it never will. Even if you cut corporate taxes to 0 % and lower the individual tax rate to 5 %, those companies that can't sell their products and services will not hire or rehire more employees and individuals will not invest in those companies. In a struggling economy such as this, consumption is the key to creating jobs. Profit is the only motivation for businesses to increase employment.

Respect.

This focus on 2010 is just garbage. This demonstrates just what is wrong with our politicas and elected officials who focus on the next election instead of doing the people's business.

LetFreedom ring do you know anything about communism or are you just mouthing "RUSHtojudgment" jingoistic nonsense? Your conservative dogma has been a miserable failure. Time for change, big change, and for a long time.....

There is so much hate in this world. Have anyone stop to think that God in control and he is first and the last . Rush will have to answer to god for his hate and the others that think he is so smart. Why didnt rush run for President . Since he is so smart and intelligent.

OBAMA WON OBAMA WON OBAMA WON!!!!! The democrats control congress.shut up already!

Well Matt, did you realize that the last three Retardlican Presidents have accumulated over 80% of our National debt? So who is really mortgaging our kids future? Obama who is trying to fix the last 30 years of failed trickle down economics or the Retardlicans who want to give people tax breaks they do not need? I think the time for change is here and President Obama is on the right track.

wow a democratic house and senate since 06' with a lower approval rating than the man you all love to hate (BUSH) ..... and yet somehow this poll shows America would like to keep the same people in power that undeniably brought down the housing market and banks at the same time in a two year period..... don't believe me check you tube, watch it and weap.... repubs blew the whistle and the dems in charge–FRANK, DODD, AND WATERS all chastised these republicans for bringing light to there deception of the American people

This is crushing news to the right. Their only play now is to hope America fails. Their leaders like Lush Flimbaugh are HOPING it fails. They will obstruct themselves right into a bigger hole and even have LESS influence than they do now after the next election. And America will be better off for it! I can't wait until we have a super majority. Then we can just tell the right wing fools to sit down, and shut up. We'll call them if we need them!

Maybe Rush Limballs should be charged under the patriot act,and shipped off to GITMO!!

WE NEED A BETTER WAY to run for and elect politicians in this country....the 'fight' to get elected is so dirty and harsh, that there is no trust and/or honor between parties once someone DOES get elected.
Remember, you get elected to WORK FOR THE PEOPLE......not yourself, not your party........WE elect you. CNN should also try and unite people with their considerable clout...not divide them to 'show a contrast'. CNN could be the leader in the media to unite people....if only CNN would see the opportunity.

hell we just finished a election .. give it a rest

Boneher and Cantor = The Bland leading the Bland

Of course the Democrats have the lead, the Repbulicans haven't entered the 21st century yet. My advice to the Republicans is to keep on trying to block anything to do with helping our economy. That way there will be fewer of you in Congress and we won't have to hear anymore of your empty rhetoric.

Let's see what happens in another year when people realize that the Democrats can't do anything but make things worse and turn this into the USSA.

The man is a fool and a traitor. He's kind of ugly too.

c'mon people. u complain of obama's plan but wut you fail to realize is that wall street has been stealing trillions of dollars from the american ppl for god knows how long. and now ur compalining of spending more money. Here's an idea, everyon who has goten ripped off by wall street.. go home...grab a machete and find the person who screwed. then hack his head off. U may not get you money back i guarantee that it will make you feel a hell of alot better.

Matt you obviously don't get it. The republican Congress and Republican President lowered taxes for the last 8 years and how many jobs did that create?? More importantly how many did it lose?? We have unemployment at a 30 year high obviously lowering taxes is not stimulating the economy and creating jobs.

Just say NO to the pill popping screwball!!

Republicans need to stop trying to derail Obama before he even gets started. The country blames them and their President for the mess Obama is trying to fix.

Two of their Congressional leaders - Boehner and Cantor - told their membership yesterday that they should oppose the President's stimulus package just before Obama came to the Hill to offer them an olive branch.

Memo to GOP from America: Get out of the way ... or we will get you out of the way. What a bunch of losers.

You liberals need to chill out. Limbaugh says what he says to generate controversy which in turn generates ratings. He's not a politician, he's an entertainer. Get it? He's hoping for a reaction and you guys are giving it to him. He's laughing all the way to the bank. As much as you'd like to label him the voice of the Republican Party, he's not. If fact, you pay more attention to him than Republicans do. He's just like Howard Stern. Say the most controversial things and people tune in. Yes some believe what he says; but then again how many believe Al Sharpton?

Give it time. Without the Republicans there to point fingers at as the majority, the Democrats no longer have a group to blame for personal agendas that lead them to poor judgment.

Give it time...

@ Let Freedom ring.....Libralism? Don't trust people born between Sept. 23rd and Oct. 23rd?

So simplistic, isn't it? Liberals are communists. Maybe if you have a bit of a clue as to what any of those words meant, you may be able to put together a thoughtful argument.
Maybe I should say convervatism=ignorance? Just as fair, isn't it?

The Bush coattails are very long. He will drag every last Repug out of Congress yet.

Obama is right, and they are wrong. They will get their just desserts in 2010, we will get rid of all of them.

Obama is the president, deal with it.

As long as people are willing to listen to the ignorant ,audacious ,egregious,loud mouthed,pill popping traitors such as Rush Limpballs,this country will remain polarized!!I would like to encourage free thinking patriotic AMERICANS to boycott the products,and services of this drug addicted addle brained nitwit!!

Republicans are liars and they have always lied. They are the greediest people on the planet. They are obstructionist and should not be listened to–shut them up with your votes in 2012.

Send them back home with their tails between their legs. Do not listen to them. They are not sincere in working with the president.

If they were so serious, why weren't they serious for the last 8 years.

President Obama is right and they are wrong. They are not believable and the president is a good man. Kick these people to the curbs–they are charlotans.

Not in Illinois.

James Johnson,
You're a glutton for punishment, huh? My condolences.

And they will continue to have a lead as long as greedy Republicans lie and cheat the American people. I hope they continue well into 2012 so that they will lose AGAIN, big time.

Thank you so much Rush Limbreath, keep talking for the Republican party, and Sarah, please come out again we love you. Just keep lying and cheating the American people so we will be in power forever.

CONGRESS TERM LIMITS . . . 12 YEARS, NO RETIREMENT!

Good Grief!

We've had 2 opinion polls about Obama and a 2010 election poll – and Obama hasn't been in office 10 days.

But hey, us conservatives understand the DNC doesn't want to let the media out of their pocket just yet. Why rock the boat when journalists are the ones doing all the paddling for your political party?

We wouldn't want them to begin reporting OBJECTIVELY. Heavens no!

Don't worry Rep the Dem with mess up they always do!!!!
It's only the second week in office, by Spring they should be headed towards the down slope.

OF COURSE THEIR IN LINE WITH THE CNN POLL. THIS IS THE CNN ONLINE WEBSITE IS IT NOT. I DON'T CARE ABOUT POLLS BECAUSE AFTER THE DEMOCRATS JUST SPEND THE MONEY FOR STUPID STUFF AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL WAKE UP AND SAY NO MORE. THE CONGRESS AND SENATE REP OR DEM BETTER WATCH OUT WE ARE TIRED OF YOUR CRAP IT STATES "WE THE PEOPLE" NOT WE THE CONGRESS THE SENATE. WE ARE DONE WITH THE STUPID SPENDING AND THE STUPID COMMON SENSE THAT YOU PEOPLE HAVE.

The Dems have the lead right now, but in less than a year this will swing the other way. The top biggest reasons why the GOP will make great strides in the mid term elections are, in order:

1. Nancy Pelosi
2. Harry Reid
3. Afghanistan
4. Pork Barrel spending
5. The Geitner appointment
6. Gitmo
7. Joe Biden's mouth
8. Split between Hillary and Barack
9. Iraq setbacks and extension of troop presence
10. Too many misteps by the inexperienced Commander

The Marxist/Socialist agenda of the democrats and this president are quite eveident. Republicans need to stand strong and be conservatives again. Resist Socialim. Resist this president's desire to destroy the country. Concervatism is not dead, it's not what Bush was about and it was not what the last 8 years were about. It's time for republicans to stand for the Regan styled principles of conservative individualism and self reliance. Socialism is not the awswer nor is marxism which is what this president and all democrats are peddling.
NO THANKS BARRY!

I think free speech is still a part of the Bill of Rights is it not?
These are the same schmucks that ignored the likes of Bill Mahr when he said the Cheyney should be shot.
It seems like they should have a lot more to worry about.

Dont seem to recall any dems wanting any of Bush's programs. I think its hilarious that one guy on the radio can minupulate the left . When the trillion dollar transfer of funds from the private sector to the most wasteful spending machine the world has ever known, the US govt
fails miserably it will take a true conservative to lead us out of the wilderness Unfortuantely the GOP arent conservative any longer

Kind of an insignificant poll at this point. The new Obama administration just started. Wait two years and see what the status of the country is then the polls will be much more significant than right now.

Remember folks this is the same congressional leadership that brought us in this mess to begin with, Polosi and Reed should be replaced by a younger free thinkers and more in line with the present situation. The same old same old does not work anymore. Reed should be reminder of his action and inaction by being replaced in the senate democrate or republican.

I cannot believe they are polling for an election 2 years away. in politicals the means infinity.

what a stupid, planted story by bill shneider and other liberal pollsters.

repubs. just dont get it .

The more people rely on the government, the less likely they are to rise against it..... Libralism = Communism.

Samantha, you seriously just said lowering taxes won't stimulate the economy as much as spending will. If you honestly believe that, then Obama is definately your man mortgaging over $1.2Trillion dollars of your kids/grandchildres's financial futires away. Mr Government is a perfect fit for you

I think the American people have witnessed first hand the obstructionist attitude of the republicans.

If they can't win, they will fight against the dems and destroy the entire country They want their power back to promote PNAC

I would guess that by the time 2010 gets here, the economy is still in shambles (the democrats will have been in control of congress and the senate for 4 years) and things are the same old politics, then this poll will show somewhat different. Do I agree with all republicans?? No. Do I agree with the democratic platform of today? No. We need people dedicated to this nation. Not the other countries. Just dedicated to putting this country back on the path that made us great. "But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." Mat 6:33 Putting God first in this country is the only action that will add back what has been lost.

The Democrats will hold power in both house and senate and presidency for 26 years... thanks Bush.

Take Heed lest you fall, Corinthians 10: 1. 13

vote em all out! both sides!

Yet more proof that it didn't matter who ran for President on the Democrap ticket! These same Americans who wanted "change" only want change in the party of the candidate. Don't care WHO is running, as long as they have a D in their party affiliation? Idiots!

Has anyone not realized that this isn't about Rush Limbaugh? This is about how people like Democrats more than Republicans. With that said;

Anyone not realized that the past two years, Congress has controlled congress? The deficit has grown more in the past two years than in any of Pres. Bush's first six years in office?

If people would pay attention to the fact that the GOP has not really filibustered that much, even though Democrats did so a few years back on practically everything in attempts to cripple and hurt their Republican counterparts?

Yet most people are blind to all of these facts, and want to bash on Republicans. Shame. Only change I see now is just how petty people can be when their party hasn't been in control for decades.

For those commenting on Rush, why don't you listen to the whole story before you start putting hate out there. He was referring to not wanting the President to succeed in Socialism! Now I know why we are having so many problems. You Liberals don't listen to the whole story before you comment because you are so filled with hatred that it clouds your common sense. Take a Valium and start educating yourself fully before you put your hateful comments out there.

ITS OVER FOR REPUBS" obama is gonna set a certain standard in politics,that in the future it's gonna be hard to follow.

let's do that same survey six months from now.

The First Amendment is a wonderful right...too bad there are so many fascists who wish to silence someone whose politics they disagree with. There is a right to express an opposing opinion in this country and no one who belives in freedom should try to deny this right.

I'm as fired up as .....and ready to go and kick some Repub. booty! They've been doing a lot of talking lately. I hope that we can put a muzzle on those voices. Guess who's back – who never left? That's right! And she's copying SOS Clinton's online format. SOS Clinton's gifts just keep on gving. Keep her close President Obama.

The Republicans will keep paying for their mistakes including the fact that they are just opposing the recovery bill without any concret reasons. I believe that this economy will revive and anyone who voted against this recovery bill will be remebered in history especially during the next election cycle.

Can that tell you what is wrong with our Congress! These people are already worried about 2010 and they need to be worried whether we will have a country, the way it is going now! I would love to see Pelosi, Reid, Dodd and Frank put out to pasture! Let's get some new faces and ideas and honesty into Washington!!!

Thats right with the GOP Failing to work with the President and Rush Limbaugh I see 2010 Being all Democrats and the Republican party becoming Extinct

I was going to say the Rush Limbaugh reminds me of Zippy the Pinhead, but I rather like Zippy the Pinhead. Rush is just a pinhead.

The reason why the republicans are losing is because they're not thinking of any new ideas. They can't just vote unanimously NO on obamas stimulus plan and not give any ideas except to decrease taxes, when studies have showed that decreasing taxes wont help stimulate the economy as much as spending will. They have to become an intellectual party AGAIN, not an anti intellectual one.

Yep.

All these Republican's who don't "get it"....need to keep oppossing Obama's stimulus plan and have to keep partisan Politics (And Rush, and Hannity and O'Reilly) as their Parties theme.

That way they can lose even more Seats and then we can see some progress.

It's truly amazing to hear the like of McCain, Boehner, Spector, etc exhibit the same Republican idealism that LOST them the White House of the same old and tired "divisive show boating" on Capitol Hill.

What's even more distrubing is that we have Republican politicians appearing on the Rush Limbaugh show, after RUSH made the statement that he wishes the President FAILS, which means he wishes all Americans FAIL!!!

So WHAT does that tell us AMERICA? It tell us, the GOP remains "tone deaf" to the reality of the world. They continue to ignore the millions of voices that stated WE DON'T WANT ANY MORE REPUBLICAN IDEALISM IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!! Bottom line.

November 4th obviously DID NOT sink into the brains of the GOP. They are still clueless, divisive, destructive and in denial of the role they played in our economic meltdown!!!

It's really unbelievable! The GOP has become a party of "The Blind leading the Blind".... sad, but true.

The Repubs inherited an economy in the "black" and in eight years led us into economic shambles. Their mantras of "get the Gov`t. out of our business" to "just let the free market work" wrecked when left unchecked as the administration did. It was a time when just look the other way, don`t worry, we`ll ALL make money, especially the top 1%. Our economy is in the CRAPPER. Thanks to our magnificent leadership of the last 8 years.

don't count on it….listen and praise rush limbaugh!!!!!"

Enoying your kool aid I see! LOL

Below is your new address:

Terry
Limbaughtown, USA

To be fair, if the Democrats are going to boycott Rush Limbaugh, then the Republicans need to boycott Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow.

Terry

You are an idiot. You praise a drug taking, self important, irrelavant person who is so out of touch with the average american. One question – the policies Rush suporrts who do they favor??? People like him who sign contracts for $400 million over 8 years, not the average american.

I agree freedom of speech Rush can say whatever he wants, but a vast majority of americans are tuning him out – the ultimate weapon – choice. Then again this is how the Republicans lost so much in the last election, perphaps people like you and Rush should listen to what the american people want, otherwise the Republicans will loose more in 2010. Change will come again!!! Get ready Terry!!!

Saying it doesn't make it so...polls are polls and have never been a true barometer for what is really going on. Besides, they probably only polled Democrats.

Prof.Limbaugh will make sure that neither Dems,nor Reps. are left in the next congress.Only ONE White supremacist by the name of Dr.Rush Limbaugh......................

I hope those numbers hold, but a lot will depend on how the Democrats in this congress handle themselves.......and what shape our economy is in as we approach the next election cycle. If the economy rebounds, in spite of the Republicans trying to sabatage the Democratic plan, then the Republicans will go down in flames once again. If the economy is still in the tank, they can run around saying "I told you so" and may do a little better.

I thought so. Republicans wont rebound until Americans forget about the damage that they cuased for this country.

I'll be voting straight Republican/Independent come 2010. Not impressed with Obama/Pelosi/Reid/etc. at all.

Anyone that would vote for a "generic" candidate from either party is more foolish than the people who posed the question. People that bought a "pig in a poke" used to be thought of as gullible, are they now thought to be good Democrats?

Please don't start 2010 crap already........

Uh-oh. Rush, O'Reilly, Hannity and the rest of you delusional liars. Get out your talking points. You can't let this happen!! Stop it. Just like you stopped Obama and Pelosi and Reid and everyone else you tried to smear with your hateful, fringe-element rhetoric to scare people into not voting for them. And you see how successful that effort was, didn't you? Quick, launch "Operation Chaos" just one more time, Rush. Hurry, times awastin'.

If the American people had any sense, they would clean out the House, Congress, etc. – We need to start over. People of America, for the people of America – not one party against the other. We need Americans. We need people in these seats that are common, ordinary people with intelligence, COMMON SENSE, and people that love the USA.

I see the media has already made their picks and will not publish anything negative about their picks, as they did with Obama. Good job! Keep making that news, instead of reporting it.

DUH!!

Republicans are true blue Americans. They would defend their country wether they are on the upper or down side. Democrats suffer from uncessary anxiety always that clouds their judgment.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I will not vote for a Republican again until they purge the party of the ultra-right nutjobs and move back to the center. Right now, a vote for a Republican is a vote against the future of America.

don't count on it....listen and praise rush limbaugh!!!!!

Wow, what a shock...the republicans are going to lose even more seats in the house.

Rush Limbaugh gets paid 800 million dollars to spew hate and fear.
Only true idiots listen to him.

Rush Limbaugh you dissappoint me and many Americans with your continuous comments of plain ignorance. In this tough economy crisis, as well as other issues surrounding this nation we must unite and stand strong as one nation.

The democrats have the worst instincts. What is actually wrong with them. I can say that President Obama and his team have fairly keen instincts but then something like this happens and I'm reminded "Oh yeah... democrats. *sigh*" First of all he is the "press". It is not proper for a political body to target him. Above all else, this is a quadruple win for Rush and an octuple lose for democrats. You just bring attention to his racist, regressive, insane rhetoric. The proper thing to do when you have a troll on an internet message board is to ignore them. The same goes in life. Don't feed the trolls. *facepalm*

Democrats, do better!

Two things..

One – its way to early to gauge whats gonna happen in 2010. So, this really isnt news worthy at this time

Two – This is a liberal poll done by liberals for liberals. Its well known CNN leans left and thats OK, but i get the feeling that there will be no super Dem majority after the 2010 elections. I just dont think it will go that way with the economy going farther downhill and a " stimulus " plan that may very well not create any jobs and create more chaos. Handouts dont fix a broken economy.

And with the petition against Rush Limbaugh the lead will hold. Its time to remove the old, very old republican guard that have laid waste to our economy in 20 of the last 28 years – Ronald Regan coined the trickle down theory that recked us; George Bush 41 had a one term presidency that ended in recession and George Bush 43 with two terms have brought us to near depression. They have ruined us in less than 3 decades. ENOUGH

And when they hear this, what will the GOP translation be? "QUICK, EVERYBODY UP THE RHETORIC, GET OUT YOUR FILIBUSTER PANTS AND OBSTRUCT OBSTRUCT OBSTRUCT!!!!"

It's a wonder they've lasted this long, trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Republicans, the writing is on the wall. Get with the program or else you may find yourself without a job and then maybe you will know how the rest of us feel!
