Not Exactly Unique

Turns out those numbers from Gallup quite closely resemble the numbers coming from the new CNN poll on the stimulus.

Sixty-four percent of those polled say the current bill being debated in the Senate would help the economy a lot or somewhat, with 36 percent feeling that the package would not help the economy much or at all.

The survey indicates that President Obama and the Democrats in Congress do have some advantages in this political battle over the stimulus. Three out of four say that President Obama is doing enough to cooperate with Republicans in Congress, but only 39 percent feel that congressional Republicans are cooperating enough with the President.

Six out of ten approve of the way Democratic leaders in Congress are handling their jobs. But only 44 percent of those questioned approve of the way Republican leaders in Congress are performing. Overall, only 29 percent of the way Congress is handling its job, with 71 percent disapproving.

The few reasonable Republicans left in Congress had better wake up to their political reality or they are going to follow Rush Limbaugh like good little lemmings right off the edge of the cliff and into the abyss. Hell I won't shed a tear but damn at least don't make it so easy!
