Congress vs the PEOPLE


The first post-primary Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 telephone survey of the Kirk-Giannoulias race finds Republican Mark Kirk holds a modest 46% to 40% lead over Democrat Alexi Giannoulias in the race for the Illinois Senate following the February party primaries. In the survey voters not affiliated with either of the major parties, Mark Kirk holds a sizable 59% to 22% lead.

The poll also showed President Obama native of Illinois is less popular in the state today. Fifty-four percent (54%) of Illinois voters approve of the job the president is doing while 45% disapprove. Those figures include 33% who strongly approve and 35% who strongly disapprove.
Seventy-one percent (71%) of Illinois voters say the federal government has become a special interest group, and 67% think the government and big business often work together to hurt consumers and investors.

This does not look good for Democrat incumbents to Congress. Could this be the real motive for the attack from the Liberal media against Congressional candidate Joe Walsh? The Liberal media that supports President Obama and wants him to have the support in Congress from members of Congress like Melissa Bean. They fail to take into account that the PEOPLE do not approve of the programs that Congress and the President want.
