New Poll Documents Bizarre Views Held By Many In Today's GOP

An astounding new poll conducted by Research 2000 (Daily Kos) highlights some of the absurd opinions about President Obama held by a LARGE portion of the current incarnation of the republican party. Therein lies the problem of today's political climate. In order to justify their opposition to President Obama these people consciously demonize the President. Rather than having the intellectual honesty to oppose his policies on their merits, these republicans act like a bunch of angry losers who have never come to terms with being defeated in November.

Instead of meeting President Obama halfway when he extends his hand they cut it off and eagerly spew forth the most preposterous claims, all while maintaining a straight face. To heck with the country, it is much more important to attempt to destroy the President at all costs. Take a look at some excerpts from this poll and try to understand what strange, alternate universe these respondents currently occupy.

1. Should Barack Obama be impeached?
Answer: 68% Yes or Not Sure
Based on what charge?? Absolutely unbelievable!!

2. Do you believe Barack Obama was born in the United States?
Answer: 58% No or Not Sure

3. Do you think Barack Obama is a socialist?
Answer: 79% Yes or Not Sure

4. Do you believe Barack Obama wants the terrorists to win?
Answer: 67% Yes or Not Sure
That's why Obama has dramatically stepped up strikes against terrorists.

5. Do you believe Barack Obama is a racist who hates white people?
Answer: 64% Yes or Not Sure

Polls - 9 Days Before The Election

These polls look great if you are a democrat. I cannot envision a
scenario where McCain-Palin can close this gap before election day. They are both too busy shooting themselves in their respective feet. The AP poll showing a one point lead for Obama is an outlier and has been criticized for some problems with its sampling technique.

The Obama "Bounce" - Finally!

As of today Obama is looking pretty good in most of the polling data. He finally got his bounce, albeit a little late. It will be interesting to see where the polls settle after the Republican Convention and the continuing saga of Sarah Palin.

Gallup Tracking: Obama +8 (Note: 1st time Obama has hit 50%!!)
Rasmussen: Obama +6
Hotline/FD: Obama +9
CNN: Obama +1
CBS News: Obama +8
USA Today/Gallup: Obama +7
