It's time for change
A poll is an honest sampling of people from all areas of demographics and incomes, randomly selected to create an accurate portrayal of public opinion. Just because your close circle of friends disagree with his budget does not mean the rest of the country follows suit. And what exactly is it you are against? Affordable health care? Less reliance on oil from countries that threaten us? Less taxpayer money being funneled into banks than into the middle class? More transparency as to how money is being spent? Better and more affordable education for America's students? Have you seen the high cost of tuition lately, coupled with high interest rates from lenders that bankrupt students and force many to quit school? So far, it seems to me, that these changes are FAR overdue. I, for one, am tired of this country being run by special interests, corporations and lobbyists. Its time Americans took their country back. The founding fathers warned against an institution run by the elite, and look where we are now. At the mercy of the top 2% of Americans.
Who are these people polling???
Everyone that I have talked too is 100% against this budget and all his spending.
First the media got this guy elected without scrutiny, and now the pollsters are trying to keep up his numbers.
