On the Alito Question:
30. Do you support or oppose approving Samuel Alito as the next justice of the Supreme Court to replace Sandra Day O'Connor?
1. Support 2. Oppose 3. Not sure
48% support approving Alito. 46% oppose.
64% of men and 30% of women support approving Alito
90% of Republicans support approval
10% of Democrats support approval.
26% of born agains OPPOSE approval. Is the koolaid wearing off?
Zero percent of African Americans support approval.
79% of NASCAR fans and 71% of Libertarians support approval
It gets worse for support of the fillibuster in PA. The polls won't persuade Santorum and Specter to change their positions. But the good news is by a margin of 55 to 39 people oppose the nuclear option.
6% of Democrats support the nuclear option.
77% of Republicans and 32% of independents support it.
Some last details...
This question was a pleasant surprise.
How closely are you following the story of the lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his connection with members of Congress?
1. Very closely 2. Somewhat closely 3. Not closely 4. Not sure
Answers one and two garnered responses of 40% and 42%
The sum of 83% even applies to NASCAR fans.
And finally, we get to corruption. Here's the question.
37. Who do you think is more corrupt, if at all, Republicans or Democrats?
1. Republicans 2. Democrats 3. Both equally 4. Neither 5. Not sure
The overall answer is Republicans 48% Democrats 9%, and yes, this combines democrats and republicans. You see, 83% of Democrats are corrupt, but only 1% of Democrats think the Democratic party is corrupt. But 21 % of Republicans think Democrats are corrupt and 6 percent think Republicans are corrupt.
But that leaves out a huge statistic. 71% of Republicans chose item 3, that both parties are equally corrupt.
Add that number to the 6% and you get an astounding fact. 77% of Republicans think that Republicans are corrupt. Oh, the numbers for Democrats add up that 92% of Republicans think that Democrats are corrupt and 98% of Democrats think Republicans are corrupt.
