Subject: Cheney Is More Popular Than Pelosi Posted by: Boxman - [2951510] Fri, Jun 05, 2009, 13:00  Poll Numbers A new Gallup poll out Friday showed Pelosi's favorability ratings are lower than that of former Vice President Dick Cheney, a popular target for Bush administration critics. According to the poll of 1,015 national adults conducted May 29-31, 37 percent of Americans have a favorable view of Cheney and 34 percent have a favorable view of Pelosi. The margin of error is 3 percent. Pelosi's current image rates 50 percent unfavorable, an increase from six months ago, while Cheney's unfavorability has dropped from 63 percent six months ago to 54 percent now. Independent and Republican voters are primarily responsible for Cheney's improvement and Pelosi's decline. Sixty-two percent of Democrats view Pelosi favorably, down just slightly from 66 percent in November while Cheney's popularity among Republicans grew from 62 percent to 70 percent. Republicans immediately jumped on the new figures. "The numbers are in and they couldn't be any clearer; Nancy Pelosi has officially become a political liability for Democrats running for reelection across the country. Whether she is accusing the CIA of a crime, tolerating corruption within the highest ranks of her party, or advocating for reckless economic policies, the fact is the San Francisco speaker is out of step with voters and dragging down her party." said Ken Spain, communications director for the National Republican Congressional Committee. | |||||||

FOX came out with these cherry-picked numbers? What a surprise. If you actually read the article, however, it doesn't demonstrate that Cheney is more popular than Pelosi. It has their popularity in that poll tied (within the margin of error). So the article lies. And you paste a clear lie, along with a doctored photo of your latest hate target, Boxman. I hope you don't wonder why your tactics and party have been rejected up and down the voting booth for several cycles now. Speaking of favorability ratings, the most popular (among his constituents) governor right now is the Democratic governor of Wyoming. Now, Boxman, stay at the curb where you've been kicked. The grownups have work to do. | ||||||

Nah. I'd prefer a reading comprehension test myself. BTW, your own article states that Cheney has a higher unfavorable rating than Pelosi (outside the margin of error). You aren't even cherry-picking numbers well. | ||||||

37 percent of Americans have a favorable view of Cheney and 34 percent have a favorable view of Pelosi. The margin of error is 3 percent. PD beat me too it, but that's a tie. in fact, with that margin of error, you could easily spin it and say more people have a favorable view of Pelosi than Cheney. even better is the fact that more people have unfavorable views about Cheney than Pelosi. guess ya missed that part. but i'll do you favor. i'll help ya out. since at this point you're so desperately grasping at straws you've run out, i'm going to provide you with a link where you can purchase some more... enjoy! | ||||||

| 7 | Boxman ID: 2951510 Fri, Jun 05, 2009, 15:28 | Careful Dave. Tree and PD won't invite you over for foie gras, bree and wine. Zen will leave you with nothing but bong water too. | ||||||

| 9 | Perm Dude ID: 154552311 Fri, Jun 05, 2009, 15:42 | Well, we can all agree in the hearty goodness of milk. Right, Boxman? | ||||||

Well, we can all agree in the hearty goodness of milk. I'm lactose intolerant. (OK, not really.) | ||||||
| 13 | rockafellerskank Dude ID: 27652109 Fri, Jun 05, 2009, 16:31 | Why is this thread-worthy, regardless of who is more (less) popular? I don't see how it add any value to the forum? | ||||||
| 14 | Boldwin ID: 133532810 Fri, Jun 05, 2009, 17:26 | Pelosi becoming a liability to her party is worthy. The picture to open this thread was not. | ||||||
