From Rasmussen:
…A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters agree more with the Republican governor in his dispute with union workers. Thirty-eight percent (38%) agree more with the unionized public employees, while 14% are undecided…
My bet is that the Democrats will call off the dogs on this as they realize that each day teachers are out “sick” on taxpayer funds to go on a rampage just makes more people mad at unions…and Democrats. We’ll see how long it is before the Wisconsin State Senators get permission from the party bosses to go back to work (don’t even for a moment think that this walk out was just a spontaneous action…this was coordinated from day one). But the left will not give up this fight – as I said before, they can’t: if this law passes, then the unions will no longer have the muscle to shove Democrat policies through, and Democrats will see a huge drop in available campaign funds and manpower. This is the sort of fight which is for all the marbles. But, there’s also more polling news:
Republicans now hold a nine-point lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot for the week ending February 20, 2011.
New Rasmussen Reports telephone polling finds that 46% of Likely U.S. Voters nationwide say they would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate, while 37% would choose the Democrat instead…
As we head in to the budget battles – and the battle of Wisconsin and other State budgets – the GOP is clearly holding on to popular support for budget cutting and government reform. The people are now getting an actual look at the GOP in action and are liking what they see. Not that its all perfect, but the general trend is towards a more conservative viewpoint on the great issues of the day.
All we have to do to win – including winning in 2012 against Obama – is to keep pressing them. Force the left to defend the liberal bastions and by that very action make them odious to the American people. For too long we’ve allowed Democrats – like Obama – to get away with “centrist” talk…as we head in to 2012, make Democrats defend corrupt union contracts, Big Government boondoggles and all the rest of the horse poop Democrats have shoved in to America while talking a centrist game. We’ve got them to the edge of the cliff – now we just have to push them over.
UPDATE: New Wisconsin Senate rules will require Senators to pick up their pay checks in person…a nice way to get the Fleebaggers to come home…
