Abuse of power causes backlash
Made popular 1152 days ago in Politics
usatoday.com — USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds:
A strong reaction against the tactics Democratic leaders used to pass the health care bill. A 53% majority call Democratic methods "an abuse of power;" 40% say they are appropriate.

And when asked about incidents of vandalism and threats that followed the bill's passage, Americans are more inclined to blame Democratic political tactics than critics' harsh rhetoric. Forty-nine percent say Democratic tactics are "a major reason" for the incidents, while 46% blame criticism by conservative commentators and 43% the criticism of Republican leaders.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans say the health care overhaul signed into law last week costs too much and expands the government's role in health care too far.

Obama's approval rating was 47%-50% - the first time his disapproval rating has hit 50%.

Once again the liberal bias of our group is showing.

I agree with you - I would think they would see the direction our country is headed down a strange track.
If people don't wake up very soon & see the trouble that lies ahead. It will be to late for every day the country is changing- not for the good.

5 hrs later the poll is getting toward what Americans think as opposed to what Democrats planned.

Hell i want the dems to have another 4 years. By then it will be painfully obvious to everyone that socialism doesn't work. I mean you can read it in history books but until you live through the collapse it just doesn't sink in for most people.
