Factoid of the day
by digby
From the latest Quinnipiac poll:
What do you think is more important, reducing the federal budget deficit or reducing unemployment?
Reducing deficit 32
Reducing unemployment 62
I’ll be very anxious to hear the plan for doing that once the deficit (and stimulus) are “off the table.” Maybe we could get Rick Perry to hold one of those prayer sessions.
*Should note that the poll also show more support for the President on the deficit negotiations than the Republicans. That’s means nothing to me since the president’s policy proposals are what I might have expected to come from Newt Gingrich in 1997, but I’m sure the campaign is pleased. It fits quite nicely with their electoral strategy.
