Rasmussen: American people do not support investigations

[Mass]

Of course, this is not the title of the post on the Rasmussen website, but only 40 % support it, 44% oppose it, and 16% are not sure.

1. Repubs want us to compromise? Here's a compromise.

For every investigation they open on Obama, we open an investigation on Bushco.

Let's see which ones have legs.

3. Good idea!

9. I agree. We've got plenty to choose from. eom

2. We should harp on the cost of these investigations

Focus on taxpayer money wasted. That seems to be the only thing people hear.
Frame it as "wasting millions of taxpayer money on a witchhunt." And we should get out
ahead of it NOW rather than winding up in our perpetual defensive crouch long after they have
framed the argument.

4. which means 58% oppose it in the real world.

5. But I bet a majority of DU'ers will.

6. I'm surprised almost anyone would support investigations. Because it's not

like the state of the nation is hunky dory and Congress has nothing better to do.

7. 40% is a rather large number who supports investigations....

which leads me to believe that just like the year long worth of polls that it took to
manipulate the electorate into voting for Republicans in 2010, this poll is meant to
manipulate public opinion once more.......as they need to grow that number, and what
better way than to start out with polling as early as possible? After all, that is
what they do best; shape public opinion. This is obviously their starting point,
and it means that they only have to work at convincing an addition 15% of the populace
to end up in good shape.

8. If they open up an investigation

And then we open up an investigation, then they can't cry about the cost.

10. Why would 40% support this when there's nothing to investigate just goes to show how

stupid and dumb people in this country is

11. GOP turned the Independents against them invesitgaint Clinton.

They won some Indys this time. Watch them turn
all groups against them.
