A few entertaining results from recent polling data

I’m not a big fan of polling since it mostly measures ignorance. Nevertheless at times I find some poll results entertaining. Here are a few examples from Rasmussen.

First up, this one: “10% Think Race Relations Better Since Obama Elected.” What? I thought Obama was THE solution to all of our problems (like the rising seas, etc.), and especially racial tensions.

Next, “42% Favor Candidate Who Opposes All Tax Increases.” Way to go you fiscal conservatives; keep up the good work. I’m kidding of course. Only 42%? Pro-life polls higher that that showing once again that the social conservatives do a better moving public opinion than economic conservatives.

The polling data below doesn’t scream Obama Administration incompetence only. When you consider that Republicans were unable to toss they guy out of office last year or gain ground with their own proposals during the past 5 years, the poor performance of our governing class is absolutely bipartisan.

Finally, two tracking polls. First, a few months of “Right Direction or Wrong Track?“:

———————– Right / Wrong

Lastly, a few months of “Rating President Obama on The Issues“:

————————————————————- Favorable / Unfavorable
