For many political junkies, we are intrigued by polls. But today, the polls that have been produced are startling.
First, the most political, 28% of those polled approve of the job performance of President Bush, 71% disapprove, from CNN
Second, an LA Times Bloomberg poll, that indicates that 78% of those polled believe that the nation is in recession.
Third, from the LATimes, 77% believe that the nation is on the wrong track.
However, 4th comparing the Democratic Candidates for President, 46% want Obama, 45% for Clinton.
5th, if there was a matchup between Obama and McCain, Obama would dominate, 47% to 44%.
There are clear indicators that the country is having struggles. That is apparent when you visit the Gas Station, the local Safeway, or talk with friends. Labeling a presidency a complete failure as in a USA Today Poll by 69% of those polled is not happening.
We need to be resilient, dynamic and realize that we can do better. WE not the politicians need to step up.

Hello everyone, I saw this article written by David Frum of AEI and found it interesting from USA Today. The GOP in many younger peoples minds are the party of failure from Iraq and Katrina. They are the party of intolerance from Race relations and intolerant of Gays. It is sad that the party of Ronald Reagan, that was full of optimism and hope, is to this point. People want to be leveled with, not lied to. David comments that the GOP needs to be viewed as potentially addressing the problem of the environment and tolerant of people that are not like them. The election race seems so polarizing that it leads people to be disconnected, and not interesting in hearing people banter. We can do better.
