GOP Has Edge Over Democrats On the Most Critical Issues -Gallup

[Mr. Smith]

Not surprised, every other poll has American agreeing almost entirely with Democrats on social and economic issues...if they are not labeled as Democratic positions.

But once they are, and once the GOP uses meaningless buzz words like "Personal Responsibility", "Fiscal Integrity", "Welfare Queens"...it's all downhill from there.

And then you have those people who simply hate whoever the hell is the incumbent presidency party no matter what,and therefore mindlessly hate how the economy is handled,and blah blah blah.

And the "New Democrats" are pretty playing in fear of those buzzwords instead of just going all FDR and saying "Eff you, c'mon bring it on" and giving out half-assed counters to try and win on technicalities of the words.

But the solution when that happens is simply to move the goalposts further and further rightward.

So yeah, not surprised at all
