Republicans on the Rise

A recent Rasmussen Poll, reports voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on key issues.

Republicans lead Democrats 46% to 41% in terms of voter trust on the economy.

Voters trust Democrats more on government ethics and corruption, 35% to 28%. But 27% are not sure whom to trust.

Republicans are trusted more than Democrats on the issue of health care, of those polled 45% place their trust in Republicans, while 42% trust Democrats more.

Voters not affiliated with either major political party heavily favor Republicans on health care, 45% to 29%.

On taxes, Republicans hold an 11-point lead, down from a 16-point lead in early February. Republicans have led Democrats on this issue for over a year.

Republicans now hold a four-point lead over Democrats on abortion, down from 14 points last month.

Voters trust Republicans more on national security by a 47% to 37% margin, little changed from the previous survey.

Republicans still have a long way to go but it seems they are headed in the right direction as compared to Democrats. What the Republicans need are more good candidates in local and national elections. We in the 8^th District have State Rep. Ed Sullivan Jr., State Sen. Dan Duffy, and candidate for the 8^th District in Congress Joe Walsh.
