What do politicians say when the majority of opinion polls are against them?
Polls? We don’t watch polls
We are too busy to watch polls
Polls are not what matters
We care more about what “the people” think
(below quotes from Huffington Post)
During the White House daily press briefing on July 13…
Robert Gibbs was peppered with questions about why the president’s popularity numbers are in decline and his policy positions are so difficult to sell.
In a reply to CBS’s Chip Reid, little Bobby Gibbs had this to say…
“You know, in all honesty, Chip, there isn’t a website in the world that doesn’t have a new poll every day,” the press secretary replied. “And if you spent a lot of time sitting around worrying about polls rather than worrying about the people that you’re trying to help, I’m sure you’d get discouraged. But we’re way too busy to sit around looking at polls.”
What Gibbs was not asked about in any follow ups was: how much money has Obama spent on commissioning polls for his personal consumption?
HuffPo supplied the answer to that unasked question in the same article…
…behind the scenes the White House has poured plenty of money into conducting its own public opinion polls. Through June 9, 2010, the administration, via the Democratic National Committee, has spent at least $4.45 million on the services of seven different pollsters, according to records compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. (The Huffington Post looked into only those expenditures that totaled more than $5,000.)
Ole Baracky-Poo is spending millions of Donated Dollars to discover what the other polls are telling him for free… that he is about as popular as ants at a picnic.
Well, folks… Take a look at the record-breaking numbers of Real Clear Politics’ compilation of polls:
I suspect the Obama War on Arizona is showing its effects in the polls.
That’s what happens when Obama believes he knows best, and doesn’t.
