Winning the Public Opinions Poll Wars; Democrats Could Survive GOP Onslaughts in 2010, GOP Still Struggling to Convince Angry Voters, Polls Say:
By Marc Chamot
All’s quiet at the Capital front; when Obama and Company aren’t busy pushing unpopular agendas on Americans, their ratings go up.
New polls showing some Democrats could survive GOP onslaughts in 2010, the GOP/Republicans are still having big trouble convincing voters, mainly Independents who abandoned them; they could LISTEN, and do a better job than Democrats, to move this country forward economically.
Key polls also show; Democrats in U.S. Congress, some likely to be replaced through anti-incumbency anger, but not by GOP, but by other Democrats.
GOP’s Failures in conveying their Messages:
It’s not surprising, because the GOP was warned, they should be relating better with America’s common and working men, rather than Wall Street, and to abandon these globalization ideals they have, like sending factory jobs abroad; they are still not listening to voters.
Republicans are doing nothing to help in stimulations and jobs creations for millions out of work Americans, they should be right there, working as the party of jobs, instead of sitting around and waiting for Democrats to be taking the lead.
Ignoring “Strong/Majority Public Opinions” is a real Party Killer, past elections have proved that:
Both parties are ignoring one common problem voters have with both parties, the “Strong/Majority Public Opinions,” what majority of Americans WANTS and NEEDS, not what the minority Groups, like Wall Street, China, banks, global warming alarmists, and amnesty for pro-illegal immigrant groups, left-wing agendas, and right-wing agendas and their desires.
The biggest downfall for former President George Bush and his bands of Republicans, when they were in power, it was their constant and wanton disregard for majority views in public opinions over issues. But the problem with Bush and his Republicans, they ignored strong public opinions over issues, until they were finally VOTED out of power.
And the very same mistakes are being made with our current president, Obama, with his crops of Democrats.
With Obama and his Democratic cohorts, they aren’t only ignoring strong public opinions over issues, they are distorting and spinning those opinions through their mainstreams Medias and the press, so as to make them seem they aren’t as popular as what people think and polls say, when in reality they are. It’s a great strategy right? Well, read on my friends.
Why Blogging is the Future over newsprint Medias, for conveying the Truths in Politics:
The truths, the Marc Chamot Report, would never make it in advertiser paid newsprint publications. I don’t think there’s a publisher around that would print my stuff, because I’m not PC (Public Correctness) enough for them.
The uniqueness in BLOGGING; one can write the way they want to, without all of that PC jargons, and influence others for practically nothing and wouldn’t suffer the consequences of losing lustrous well paid advertising.
In other words, there are no printing costs, ink, office personnel, overhead costs, and much more that would make it a fully fledged newspaper or magazine, and free to write, without suffering the consequences of losing money.
Newspapers were once the most influential venue for American politics, and a good many of them throughout the years, have swayed electoral results their ways. But times are changing and they are losing that threshold to the Internet today. As elections come and go. Newspapers are becoming lesser factors in voting results.
The Decline of Newspapers in Electoral Results:
Take the Massachusetts U.S. Senate races with Scott Brown vs. Martha Coakley, Massachusetts largest and most influential newspaper, the very liberal Boston Globe.
They went to bat for Democrat Martha Coakley, while at the same time trashing Republican Scott Brown. This was the most recent example of newsprint failures performing for a favorite political candidate to date.
Unfortunately for the Globe, you know the rest of the story, their star candidate lost out to Republican Scott Brown in the race for Ted Kennedy’s former U.S. senate seat. Massachusetts voters were given a second opinion, like anyone would do, when we go see doctors for serious surgeries, we’re always given a second opinion.
But instead of buying what the Globe fed them, Massachusetts voters went to the Internet, and relayed the search results to their family and friends, scoops about these two candidates, one ended up winning the Net wars, and the other lost the newspaper’s influence.
Electoral Pandora’s Box is Wide Open with the Internet:
What voters discovered on the Net, it wasn’t just about senate candidate Scott Brown, but it was more about Martha Coakley, who had some past unethical investigations done on her, which the Boston Globe conveniently left out, while pumping her up to their readers as the IDEAL candidate for President Obama, while attacking Scott Brown. Scott Brown would have NEVER won Massachusetts, had it not been for the Internet, folks.
That is why Obama and Washington Democrats were in total shock over the results. They saw the declining influence of a major Massachusetts newspaper powerhouse, on electoral results over the Internet.
Somebody is going to say, well, if that’s the case, we should have Liberal Democrats dominate the entire web? It’s impossible for that to happen, not even right-wing Republicans can dominate the web, especially when most Americans who surf the Net for news and information, are either little left of center or right of center to moderates and conservative.
The biggest problem with newspapers, they rather work for interests of money and profits, rather than for the interests of their readers and the nation.
Having worked within the newspapers industries for decades, one thing I learned, and whether the newspaper industries like it or not, they do sell out, and they are also being restricted from real “Freedoms of Speech.” In essence, advertisers put food on the table for publications, and they avoid biting the hands that feeds them, like the plague, and without these profitable advertisers they wouldn’t exist.
And having short stints in creating numerous smaller publications myself, I learned the harsh realities in newsprint, when you put out a news publication; one can never truly write what they really think about or want, not even the “truths” sometimes, especially when there’s big money involved; in reality wealthy ADVERTISERS control contents outputs of publications, if you anger them, they’ll pull out their million dollars ads from you.
Angering key advertisers is the number one biggest concerns for newspapers’ very survival.
Throughout our brief American history, and even now, with the advent of the Internet, it has become a matter of fact; newspapers have hidden or covered up facts in providing the truths about governments, politicians, and major corporate happenings in Wall Street for years.
I articulated it pretty well, in a popular posting I did last October, who are these Warmongers?
How American War Machines are manipulating the Mainstream Medias & Politicians in Time of War: “The FACT is; the American war machine is the second most powerful industry in America next to BANKS, we’re talking about their occupying every aspect of Wall Street industries, they are all in one way or another tied in to massive armament productions, as well as for civilian uses, AND many are major multi-million dollar fundraisers for American POLITICIANS, and advertisers FOR these newspapers and TV Networks.”
Another big problem with major Medias, they “don’t tell it like it is” anymore, and that’s where bloggers like the Marc Chamot Report comes in. We have equal advantages over newsprint Medias; we can get loyal readers, we can influence, and help sway elections, issues or whatever, as a collective group, and far cheaper than newspapers can.
And the message to both parties is? In essence, if President Obama and his Democratic cohorts, or even the GOP begin to listen to what the majority of Americans are telling them through “public opinions,” and ran this country the way WE ELECTED them to do, rather than doing it for a small minority groups of people, they’d survive politically, just a little while longer anyways.
This is a very simple formula folks, and right now, it may seem like the Obama/Democrats might be getting it, we’ll see.
AP-GfK Poll flashes mixed signals for parties
Americans want Democrats to control Congress after this fall's elections, a shift from April, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll released Saturday. But the margin is thin and there's a flashing yellow light for incumbents of both parties: Only about a third want their own lawmakers re-elected.
The tenuous 45 percent to 40 percent preference for a Democratic Congress reverses the finding a month ago on the same question: 44 percent for Republicans and 41 percent for Democrats. The new readout came as the economy continued showing signs of improvement and the tumultuous battle over the health care law that President Barack Obama finally signed in March faded into the background.
"To the extent that Democrats can focus on job creation rather than health care, they tend to do better," said Jack Pitney, a political scientist at California's Claremont McKenna College.
Democrats hold a 254-177 majority over Republicans in the House, with four vacancies, while Democrats control 59 of the Senate's 100 seats, counting support from two independents. Despite those disadvantages, the GOP has gained political momentum in recent months and its leaders hope to win control of at least one chamber of Congress this November.
Compared with the last AP-GfK poll in April, the survey showed Republicans losing some support among married women, a key component of many GOP victories. Democrats picked up ground among young and rural voters.
"I'm a new Democrat," said Harley Smithson, 51, of Baltimore, who said he had recently switched from the GOP. "I want to be with a party that's for something instead of against everything."
Even so, the poll underscores that the political environment remains ominous for Democrats.
Just 35 percent say the country is heading in the right direction, the lowest measured by the AP-GfK survey since a week before Obama took office in January 2009. His approval rating remains at 49 percent, as low as it's been since he became president.
Congressional Democrats win approval from only 37 percent, though congressional Republicans score an even drearier 31 percent. Democrats and Republicans are about evenly trusted to handle the economy, an issue Democrats once dominated and one that is crucial at a time when the country's job situation, though brightening, remains grim.
Only 36 percent said they want their own member of Congress to win re-election this fall, a noteworthy drop from the 43 percent who said so in April and the lowest AP-GfK poll measurement this year. Much of the restiveness seems to be among Republicans: While Democrats were about equally divided on the question; Republicans expressed a preference for a new face by a 2-to-1 margin.
"I want to send a message to Washington loud and clear that I'm not happy, I'm really unhappy, both with Republicans and Democrats," said Diane Mullens, 54, of Huntsville, Ala. "If that means I have to vote everybody out and make a stand with my one vote, I'll do it."
In recent days, the anti-incumbent wave has already spelled defeat in party primaries for a pair of Washington fixtures: Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, and Rep. Alan Mollohan, D-W.Va. Other veterans such as Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., have announced their retirements, and Sens. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., and Arlen Specter, D-Pa., face primary challenges Tuesday that could add them to the political casualty list.
Among those most eager to turn incumbents out of office are one in four, who called themselves supporters of the conservative tea party movement. Two-thirds say they want a new person representing them in Washington, compared with half of everyone else.
"The Republican Party has more or less left me," said Mike Miller, 40, of Republic, Mo., a tea party backer who wants a new member of Congress. "Everybody's shifted to the left."
